Please tell the difference between * pointer and &pointer

Answer 1

The '*' character is used in declarations of pointers. The '&' is for taking the address of something. So, if you go back to the tutorials on pointers, they would be used this way:

Ninja n;
Enemy *pe = &n;

The asterisk says that 'pe' is a pointer to an Enemy and you are taking the 'address of' the Ninja 'n' with '&'.

The asterisk is also used for dereferencing a pointer. You can use '*' to dereference the pointer like this:

(*pe).attack()

which would be the same as

n.attack();
