pointers - When to delete/dereference in C++ -

myobj* var = new myobj; var = other1;

don't need anymore

delete var; var = new myobj; var = other2;

why can't dereference instead of deleting , allocating again?

var->other2;

dereference not mean delete: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/dereference

i suggest go through tutorials on c++, seem have misunderstanding of lot of vocabulary means.

remember utilize google.

c++ pointers dereference
