    if i write something like this:

    typedef struct {int x,y;} str;

    .
    .
    .

    str A, *p = &A;
    int *p2 = &A.x;

    then cout<<*p2 prints the value of A.x
    and cout << p2 prints the address of A.x
    but if i write cout<<*p->x , compiler says "illegal indirection"
    and if i write cout<< p->x i get the value of A.x

    so why is that and how can i get the address of A.x using p pointer ?
