Reference to a pointer

[Tanushreeagr]

I am unable to get "reference to a pointer".
Here:

char*p = "hello";
char*&k = p;


while creating reference to a pointer why we have to write *&k , why not &*k?

I recommend you:

1. Change your code writing style to use spaces like

   char* p  =  "hello";
   char*& k  =  p;

2. Use Code tags while posting code snippets.

Now about your question:

char a;	// character a
char* p;	// p is a pointer to a character
char& r;	// r is a reference to a character
char*& rp;	// r is a reference to a pointer to a character
char&* pr;	// r would be a pointer to a reference to a character

That's the syntax for a reference.

An int reference would be
int&, so a char* reference is char*&.

How to create a new thread , PLEASE HELP ME!!!

#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
int x = 10 ;

3 = x;

}

When we run the above program compiler error :"left operand must be l-value" occur , why it's telling about left operand while in the
program 3 is on RHS... ????

1. Return to the list of threads in C++ (Non Visual C++ Issues) forum.
2. Access the Post New Thread page through the button-like link.

You are mistaken: 3 is on the left hand side.
