Heap memory or stack

Question

Hi

int* pi = new int;

Above line in c++ would create int type pointer variable on stack... is this true ? Why it is true or false ?

Answer 1

This is something similar in Java.

Object obj = new Object();

Here obj is a a reference variable which is created on the stack and new Object() is created on the heap.

In the above case obj holds the reference to the new Object().
You can say that obj is pointing to new Object() which is on the heap but obj itself is on the stack.
