Object-oriented programming (OOP) has been around for decades. If you have a basic understanding of C++ and are interested in leveling up your skills, this class will help you do just that. 

Starting with an overview of the basics, you’ll dive into understanding the time-honored technique for implementing complex applications using user-defined classes. Followed up by discussing classes and objects, and then building up to the high-level topics including inheritance and polymorphism. 

Throughout the course, you’ll be fully immersed in OOP for C++, with illustrations, exercises, quizzes, and hands-on challenges every step of the way. You’ll walk away with an understanding of classes and objects behavior and be able to easily create simple, efficient, reusable and secure code.

# Definition

> A **pointer** holds the address of an object stored in memory. The pointer then simply “points” to the object. 

The type of the object must correspond with the type of the pointer.

# Declaration

A basic pointer can be declared using the following template:

    type *name;    // points to a value of the specified type

`type` refers to the data type of the object our pointer points to, and `name` is just the label of the pointer. The `*` character specifies that this variable is in fact, a pointer. Here is an example:

    int *p;   // integer pointer
    string *q;   // string pointer



In this lesson, we will explain the concept of pointers in C++. This will be crucial in our understanding of OOP.
