I tried to search the web but I am kinda having difficulty in finding some "basic" difference between these two in layman terms.

POINTER:

int A;
int *pA;
pA = &A;

REFERENCE:

int A;
int &rA = A;

So what?

A is the name of the address of 2 bytes reserved in memory for integer type.
pA is the pointer which contains the address of A.
So what would rA be?

Sorry unrelated, but what did you put at the end of your post to make that vBulletin bug happen?
