I guess I didn't ask that q very well at all.
I'm familiar with pointers in C/C++, and iterators in C++, they are
languages I have most experience with.
However, I was thinking that they may be in some ways similar to say, a
vector iterator, without regard for methods etc.
I meant in a very general way, but I think it was probably a silly question
realy.
Trying to cheat my way into a greater understanding of the unerlying
implementation without doing the reading I guess ;)
Thank you for the reply though,
Regards,
Vince
