If you want simple pointers, on the stack, you declare themlike this:

int a; //an integer
int *pInt; //a pointer to an integer...
//you could have initialized it on the previous line, but you can also do it like this
pInt = &a;

now if you want a pointer on the heap space, you do it like this:

int *pInt = new int; //that creates a pointer to an integer on the heap. Initialize it like above
int a;
pInt = &a; //now pInt points to a;

I hope that helps...=)

ok, i forgot to say how to delete a pointer on heap

int a;
int *pInt = new int;
pInt = &a;
//now to free the memory
delete pInt;//deletes the pointer on the heap..

If you talk about create/delete a pointer point to a string then..

//Create a pointer point to a string with size of 10
char *MyStr = new char[10];
//Reset the content
memset(MyStr, 0, 10);

//. Put your code here...

//Delete the pointer
delete [] MyStr;
