Thus both data members and member functions can be accessed via pointer also, just by giving them, reference of a class they belong to. For invoking Member function through pointer we use pointer to pointer Member function operator (->) You can assign the address of a public member of an object to a pointer. When accessing members of a class given a pointer to an object, use Arrow(->) operator. */
