  • Create a pointer, use new to give it something to point to, and assign the pointed-to variable a number.
  • Consider the following program: 
    #include <iostream.h>

void main(void)
{
  int *taco;
  int *burrito;

  taco = new int;

  burrito=taco;

  *taco = 10;

  cout << "Taco is set to " << *taco << endl;
  cout << "Burrito is set to = " << *burrito << endl;
}
    What do you think the output of the above program is? Why do you think that happened?
