int main() 
{
int * n ; 
 
{//induced code block
  A aObj;
aObj.arr[0] = 1;
aObj.arr[1] = 2;
n = aObj.arr;
 
/*
 BTW I assume n now points to the same add of  aObj.arr ... am I wrong??

The problem is scoping -- object A goes out of scope before the cout statement on line 31. Delete the { and } on lines 20 and 29 and your program will work as you expect it to.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Keep in mind that this line (see red part):

std::cout << "\n" << (*n) << " " << (*n+1);

displays aObj.arr[0] + 1 , not aObj.arr[1] . In your case, they are the same, but if you change line 23 to equal something other than 2, you'll still get 1 2 as output.
