    My eyes! Rewrite that in something approaching english and someone might reply.

    Hints:
    - 'u' is a character; "you" is the second person pronoun.
    - using punctuation is neither illegal nor immoral.
    - "address" has 2 d's

    As for your question, I suspect you want the dereference operator (*).

    ul find it alot ez-er 2 srch 4 things if u know how 2 write dem.

    If you program in C++, you need Boost. You should also know how to use the Standard Library (STL). Want to make games? After reading this, I don't like WxWidgets anymore. Want to add some scripting to your App?

    Well said ChaosEngine.
    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.
