<p>I'm new to C++ and have been playing around witha few examples, I was just wondering what the * meant when initialising a class.</p>

<p>Normally in AS3 I would do this:</p>

<pre><code>MyClass myClass = new MyClass
</code></pre>

<p>But I have seen this in c++</p>

<pre><code> MyClass *myClass = new MyClass
</code></pre>

<p>What is the star for, I;ve seen it used sometimes and not others.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
