Answer 1

p is pointer and it is holding the address of x. If you print p like that,
cout<< p; //You see the address of the thing that you assigned.

but if you put asterisk sign before p,
cout<< *p // it shows you the value of that it is holding.

* is dereference operator

Answer 2

thank you mustafa . I think pointers needs more time to understand it.
