The operator in C++, which is used to access a value referred by a pointer is…

In C++, the * operator is used to access the value stored at the memory address held by a pointer. This process is called dereferencing.

The * operator used with pointers is known as the indirection operator or dereference operator.

Example:

int x = 10;
int *p = &x;

cout << *p;

Here:

• p stores the address of x

• *p accesses the value stored at that address, which is 10

Therefore, the operator used to access the value referred to by a pointer is called the indirection operator.
