	p here is a different pointer but points to the same address that the 
actual parameter points to. i.e. Any changes you make to p will _not_ be 
reflected in the passed param (pObj2). But changes can be made to the 
object at the address pointed to.

	The above statement will change the address pointed to by p but not 
that pointed to by pObj2.

	Same as in the earlier case, the object pointed to by p(and pObj1, 
since its both the same) will be destroyed and p will be set to NULL, 
but not pObj1.
