Noob pointer question

Hi guys, I've been in JavaScript for a very long time for work, and now back to C++ due to excitement of Vulkan. Of course, my hazy memory about pointers already got into me to lots of pointer errors. So here's a quick one... Why is this working: int* a = new int(5); int* pA = a; delete pA; But this one isn't: int a = 5; int* pA = &a; delete pA; I may be wrong, but is it because I'm trying to delete a pointer (is it even a pointer I'm deleting?) allocated in reserved memory or something? Thanks!
