<p>I recently started to 'relearn' c++ and encountered a simple question that i always had.</p>

<pre><code>Int *intp = new int(10);
Int&amp; intref = *intp;
</code></pre>

<p>intref prints as 10
*intp does so too.</p>

<p>Also do the prints of &amp;intref and intp equal.</p>

<p>Long story short. Is the difference between <code>&amp;</code> and <code>*</code> simply the way you access the value and adress?
Or is there a major difference in usage?</p>
