Title: C++, pointers problem!
Post by: joeshmo on April 12, 2006, 04:18:48 pm: Code: [Select]
#include<iostream>; int main() { int ted,beth,j; j=25; ted=&j; beth=*ted; }It might be just my compiler, which is bloodshed dev-C++, but pointers dont work! It gives me the error:
Quote
invalid conversion from int to into
Help me please!

Fixed code:
Code: [Select]
#include<iostream> int main() { int * ted; int beth,j; j=25; ted=&j; beth=*ted; }Also I forgot that ; is not needed for the include statement.

When '*' is used for pointers, you can literally read it as 'whats at the address of', so int * p; would mean int is whats at the address of p;
