C++ Dereferencing pointer to object -

i'm having trouble dereferencing pointer.

priority_queue<node*, vector< node*>, comparator>* pqueue = null;  pqueue = h->addtoqueue(m);   while (!pqueue->empty()) {      cout << (*pqueue)->top() << endl;      pqueue->pop();   } 

addqueue(m) returns pointer priority queue, when try print i'm getting memory address values.

any ideas why?

thanks..

you have overload << operator node class like:

ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const node& nd) {     os << nd.anyvalue;     return os; } 

also have dereference pointer like

cout << *pqueue->top()<< endl; 

look @ example here:
