[raghunadhs]

Hi all!

(1):Can u say what are the differences between a reference and a object?

(2): see the following ex:

class Example
{
......;
......;
};
int main()
{
Example e1;
Example e2=new Example();
.......;
}

2(a):I think e1 is reference to Example and e2 is object to Example... Am i right.... ?
2(b):What is the difference between e1 and e2?

Thanks in advance:
