[C++] Pointers

[Wizatek]

Hi,

 

Im still a little vague in when to use pointers.

I have a c# background and those kind of things all get managed by the framework.

I know how a pointer works, and what it is.

But i dont understand exactly yet when its best to use a pointer and when its best to just use a value type ?

I have been reading about it, but it didnt made me any smarter
