Using Pointers to Objects

void main()

{ Distance dist; // create an Object dist // define a named object

dist.getdist(); // access object members

dist.showdist(); // with dot operator

Distance* distptr; //create a pointer to an object // pointer to Distance

distptr = new Distance; // points to new object

distptr->getdist(); // access object members

distptr->showdist(); // with -> operator

}

If we replaced distptr->getdist();with

(*distptr).getdist(); would anything change?
