your statement technically isn't right, but I see why you think that. it is true that is you call the memory location or p (&p) and memory location of a (&a) it should both say something like 0x0f08a72. however when we access RAM we're not accessing the physical location of our variables but the virtually allocated location. So the physical location of p and a might be on completely separate sticks but virtually they're the same.
