It's purpose is to print a pointer value in an implementation defined
format. The corresponding argument must be a void * value.

The value of the void * object will be converted to a sequence of
printing characters, in an implementation-defined way.

To be realistic, most implementations use a hexademical string
representation of the value.

pointer in the sense the address of the variable?
Is %u and %p are same?

It has to be a pointer to void. You can convert an address into
one with a cast:
printf("%p\n", (void *)&var);
> Is %u and %p are same?
No. %u is for printing an unsigned int in decimal.
