So say I have an object/pointer/whatever the definition of such a thing is:

A* a = new A();

who happens to have methods

b();
c();

The way of doing things that I’ve found out is this:

a->b();

and the method worked very well.
However now I have seen people doing it this way:

(*a).b();

The question is: What is the difference (i.e. how are addresses and values managed in each) between these two ways of calling methods and according to that, which is best one to use?

If this a duplicate of other question, just let me know, I will erase it after I see the original question.

    There is no difference. It just a different notation.
