Trevor and I divvied up a bunch of responsibilities the other day, and we’re sending out invitations to a bunch of scholars who may be able and interested in joiing forces with the Disseminary. Now we just have to wait out the return messages. . . .

Again, we're using the star operator, and noting that this variable we're working with is a pointer. If we didn't, the computer would try to put the results of the right hand side of this statement (which evaluates to 6) into the pointer, overriding the value we need in the pointer, which is an address. This way, the computer knows to put the data not in the pointer, but into the place the pointer points to, which is in the Heap. So after this line, our int is living happily in the Heap, storing a value of 6, and our pointer tells us where that data is living.
