Thread: Pointer/Dynamic Memory/function problem

Im just a beginner and I was the one not knowing hehe. but I think You interpreted the responces wrong.
From what I can gather. we are not talking about classes copy constructors or classes at all.
I could be wrong. But Copy as in Copying one variables value into anothers by assignment.
like int i=7;
int a=i;
the value of i, 7, is now copied into a. Cause we assigned the value of i to a.
I think we need the *& because Its just saying we are passing a Pointer by reference instead of value. So The function doesnt Copy the value by passing by Value. But Uses Reference instead.
Thats what I got from it anyways. Lol someone just replyed says my email. Im always too late lOl Ill post this anyways

Sorry to interrupt your thread. I have all of these different sections of c/c++ running through my brain at the same time with not much order to it. I know you weren't talking about copy constructors, my comparison was only with the meaning of the word explicit; I also was not trying to tell anyone they were wrong, so my interpretation of the responses was for selfish reasons. I just printed out the FAQ on piointers and won't post until I've studied it thoroughly.
