Unique pointers

[sour trench]

I'm quite confused here. What points to the integer 42 now that we've "taken ownership"?

say i want another thing to point to 42 now

do i add that inside the takeownership func

It's the new pointer that pointers to 42.

Which gets destroyed immediately.

[barren solar]

on the line with TakeOwnership(std::move(Number)); you transfer ownership of the "integer 42" from Number to the function parameter Num
that means Number owns nothing and points to nothing, whereas Num points to the "integer 42" and owns it
then when the function oTakeOwnership completes, Num is destroyed and takes down the "integer 42" it owned with it

the final line std::cout << *Number; is not a valid construct because you're cannot validly use * on a unique pointer that owns nothing
