#include<iostream>
#include<string>
class A
{
	public:
	A()
	{
		std::cout << "constructed." << std::endl;
	}
	~A()
	{
		std::cout << "destructed." << std::endl;
	}
};
int main()
{
	A *ao = new A();
	A* ab;
	ab = ao;
	delete ab;   // also deletes the object constructed on heap memory.
	int*  int1 = new int(20);
	int* int2;
	int2 = int1;
	delete int2;   //this does not delete the int1 created on heap.
}

what is difference between deleting these two primitive type pointer and class type pointer.

What makes you think the int value isn't being deleted? What are you expecting to see?
