What Is Wild Pointer

  Wild pointer:

           A pointer in C which has not been initialized is known as wild pointer.

    Example:

   What will be output of following c program?

#include<stdio.h>  int main()  {     int *ptr;     printf("%u\n",ptr);     printf("%d",*ptr);     return 0;    }

         Output:

Any address Garbage value

Here ptr is wild pointer because it has not been initialized.
