Hello all, I was looking at the subject of pointers in C++ the other day and I became confused about something. It seems to me that using pointers would be a waste of time because you can achieve the same results by easier methods, at least I could in all of the examples that were shown to me. My question is why are pointers used? Thanks, Joe Kerlin

e.g. dynamically allocating memory

Do a member search on tazel. He started several threads on this.

you will figure it out later. just keep learning. someday you will say "Thank God I have pointers!"

Flamewars don''t make you look smart, but idiot.
