When you declare a variable, memory is allocated. A pointer "points" to a part of memory using address. px = &x; // px stores x address . So if the x changes. When you access you pointer by using *. The value stored in memory changes. (Off course because they reference the same part of memory) When x is deleted (Read about scope and local variables) You still can have access of x values. You just need to access the memory that your pointer references.

a pointer is the place where the address of your data (in other words where your memory is located) is stored
