In line 14 of specification file there are two parameters (pointers to char). the thing i have learned so far is that pointers store address of a variable by & operator but in the int main function on line # 8 direct strings are passed. is it correct to pass direct strings to pointer variable?
1 // Specification file for the Contact class.
2 #ifndef CONTACTINFO_H
3 #define CONTACTINFO_H
4 #include <cstring> // Needed for strlen and strcpy

6 // ContactInfo class declaration.

10 char *name; // The name
11 char *phone; // The phone number
12 public:

14 ContactInfo(char *n, char *p)
15 { // Allocate just enough memory for the name and phone number.
16 name = new char[strlen(n) + 1];
17 phone = new char[strlen(p) + 1];
