Understanding pointers is crucial for a C++ programmer, you should put in the effort to get familiar with them. Many things aren't doable without pointers.

But as a very new beginner it is hard to solve h.r question at this stage for me

its fine till u can solve the questions, but soon yll encounter some representions of ADT or some questions where solving using pointers is unavoidable then that is a good signal that u should learn them

Ohk.. but overall as I did it was too basic and the qs I found their were too good that I was not able to solve them in a way they require but still I made it happened to solve by some other way

if you managed to get the solution accepted then your method is also correct. and if u are doing it in a simpler manner its a better solution then

like what? If you can do it without a pointer easily that is fine for that problem. But you should understand how to do it both ways, and which way was better, and why. It would be great to know what sort of problem we are talking about...
