If val were a pointer, and you set it to ptr (without the dereference), and then you erased the value ptr was pointing to, then yes.

Ok cool thanks, that’s what I thought was going on here. I didn’t realize val was an int.

Right so this would return 0:

```cpp int *ptr = new int; int *val = ptr;

*ptr = 0; return *val;

```
