In addition to the previous answer given in Answer #1,
namely References must point to valid objects at the time
of declaration, references also has the following
limitation.
Once a reference is assigned, there's no way you can modify
the reference. However for a pointer type, variable
assignment is legal.
e.g.,
int i, j;
int *pi, *pj;
pi = &i; // pointer to i
pj = &j; // pointer to j
int &k = i; // reference to i
pi = pj; // pi no longer points to i, instead
// it is now pointing to j
k = j; // The reference k is still with i, it is only
// the value of i that is now modified. i is
// assigned the value of j
