    '&' in the context that you are using gived the address of, vice the value of the variable. Take a look at: Lesson 6:Pointers and Prelude's Pointer Tutorial.

    In your first example there is no difference. But your question is barely comprehensible IMO.

    I recommend that you print the variables yourself and investigate what the difference is.
