run time error-pointer assign

Hi, Can anyone explain me why this code causes run time error:
SimpleCat *pRags=new SimpleCat;
pRags=&Frisky; //if I put this then run-time error
cout<<"Frisky is "<<pRags->itsAge<<"age"<<endl;
delete pRags;

I have class SimpleCat, and if class is some like new data type why I can't use analogy
int x=2;
int *p=new int;
p=&x
??????

> pRags=&Frisky; //if I put this then run-time error
Because you can only delete what you got back from new

That is ok, but what if I create two or more objects, then how can I declare pointer to point to specific object I want
for example:
SimpleCat First,Second;
SimpleCat *p=new SimpleCat;
p.itsAge=2;
to which of these two objects is value of member variable itsAge is set to 2????

I meant p->itsAge not p.itsAge

Do this (remove SimpleCat First,Second;)

SimpleCat *p=new SimpleCat[2];

Now you have two cats, and can do this...

p[0].age = 2;
p[1].age = 4;

When you're done, tidy up with

delete [] p;

You don't need to allocate memory to a pointer if you're just using it to point to already constructed objects.

Code:

---

SimpleCat First,Second;
SimpleCat *p=new SimpleCat;

---

There are four objects here. Three are of type SimpleCat and one is of type pointer-to-SimpleCat. The expression
new SimpleCat allocates an instance of SimpleCat on the heap and returns a pointer to it.

If you just want to point to your objects, you can do this:

Code:

---

{
  SimpleCat First, Second;
  SimpleCat *p;
  p = &First; // now p points to first
  int firstAge = p->itsAge;
  p = &Second; // now p points to second
  int secondAge = p->itsAge;
} // end of scope.. no need for delete because no objects
  // were allocated with new

Thanks guys!!!
