With respect to the following code snippet,

void Foo$($int$*$& ip$)\{$

$/*$ do something $*/$

$\}$

int main$()\{$

int$*$ pt $=$ new int$(7)$;

Foo$($pt$)$;

$\}$

which of the following statement is correct?

ip and pt are names bound to the same pointer object. Therefore, the programmer can assign a value $($i$.$e$.,$ address$)$ to that pointer object through either name.

ip and pt are two distinct pointer objects. Therefore, incrementing the value stored in one is not reflected in the value stored in the other.
