How to Dereference object?

Question

normally,

int x = 5;
int *p = &x;
p = address of x
*p = x = 5

in oop :

SomeClass obj;
obj.func();
SomeClass *p = &obj;

so now we have to use, p->func();
but if I try, *p.func(); [*p should be Dereferenced and should work as obj]

this gives an error. why does this happen

Answer 1

This may be because the member access operator is evaluated before the dereference operator. Try (*p).func()

Answer 2

Thanks! It worked.
