Question on Pointer tutorial

[wuming79]

Reference http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/pointers/

I can't seems to compile "foo = &myvar;" but I can compile "*foo = &myvar;"
Did I miss out any std files?

#include <iostream>
#include<stdio.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int myvar = 25;
int foo = &myvar;
int bar = myvar;
int beth = *foo;
return(0);

}

[JLBorges]

int main()
{
    int myvar = 25; // type of myvar is 'int'
    
    // int foo = &myvar;
    int* foo = &myvar; // type of foo is 'pointer to int'
    
    int bar = myvar; // type of bar is 'int'
    
    int beth = *foo; // type of beth is 'int'
}

u cant assign address of a variable to a normal variable as suggested by @JLBorgers u need to use pointer of same type

int *foo = &myvar;

i.e the tutorial is wrong??

[Zhuge]

The tutorial simply omits the types. You inferred them all to be int, which was incorrect. The tutorial intended for you to assume the types were those given by JLBorges.
