int *p;   //With this statement, you just declared a pointer variable (which will point to an integer)
int w=10; //You declared an integer and initialized it. The storage for this variable is on the stack.
p=&w;    //You made the integer pointer you earlier declared, point to the integer that you just created on the stack.

the memory allocation for both w and p will be on stack only ...?

when it is really useful to allocate memory dynamically using pointer than allocating on the stack..?

if possible can u explain with example when the dynamic memory allocation is really useful...
