"what you're actually doing is giving your i2 pointer the address 0x10. Remember that pointers store addresses, not values.". I am not sure if that's true because I can do int* i2 = 10; and then print some i2 which will give me 10.

Thanks for inputs. Follow up questions - (1.) So, you mean GetString() actually allocates memory in the heap while char* on stack, are you sure about it? Even if I accept user input on char* I need not to define the size of user input. (2.) "The actual string literal "hello" is stored in the read only memory section." You mean heap memory? (3.) int* i2 mean i2 is a pointer and will have address pointing to heap memory and int i2 means i2 is just an int on stack.
