What is the difference between * as a symbol of pointer and * as a dereference while using both in a same code?
this is a C++ question.

Maitrey Bhaskar refer below and feel free to ask for query :
int c = 9;
int *p = &c; // here, * indicates that p is pointer pointing to int
cout << *p ;// here, value of variable pointed by pointer is required... * is dereferencing operator... if * is not used, alone p will display memory address of pointer

this is same code only...in one code block, both are used...what do you mean by same code..
single statement ?? if so, you can't have I guess... if you put two **, it represents pointer to pointer and double ** as dereferencing means value of pointer to pointer

this mean that when only pointer is used , then cout<< *p << endl; represent *p as pointer. But what will be the code when pointer and dereference is used in the same code?
