I assume you mean a 'pointer'.

You'd probably get better answers by exposing the problem you're trying
to solve instead of what you think is the solution

Anyway, if you want a list if integers, just put integers into a list
and iterate over that list:

buffer = [1, 2, 3, 42]
for i in buffer:
  do_something_with(i)
