Declaring a pointer variable in C++ would go something like this:

char A = 'A'; char * pointer = &A;

Declaring a pointer variable in x86 assembly language would go something like this:

a SBYTE 'A' pointer DWORD OFFSET a

In your own words describe the strength of the type checking on the C++ pointer.

Compare your conclusions to the strength of the type checking on the x86 assembly language pointer.
