pointers to objects

[eliranko]

Student *a;
Student *b = new Student();
Student *c = new Student();
a=b;
b=c;
c=a;

is this ^ the right way to switch between pointers?

[Ramses12]

Sure. They're just memory locations = values.

If you don't want to write the code for swapping two things yourself and risking making mistakes you can use std::swap from the <algorithm> header.
std::swap(a, b);
