    checking if this is a typo in the C++ book

    Hi! I'm trying to learn C++ and would like to check if this is a typo from page 135 of the ebook as it's really confusing me.

    Is the 2nd line of the code supposed to be this?

    int *p_x = & x;

    Or is it also ok to declare pointers without the *?

    Thanks!

    Your correction is correct!
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
