Thread: strange auto_ptr error

In the following programme I'm using the auto_ptr pointer. All is good but when I try to print the value of the pointer, it prints out some memory location. Why?

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    auto_ptr<int> number(new int);
    *number = 1;
    cout << "My number is " << number.get() << endl;
    
    cin.get();
    return(0);
}

auto_ptr::get() returns the value of the pointer which is the location that the object is stored. Your printing out the memory location of the object.

to get the actual value u already know how to do it

Code:

cout << "My number is " << *number << endl;

oooh )
Tnx.

ooppps sorry wrong thread :S
