Returning a pointer

  
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

//returns a pointer to a string element
string* ptrToElement(vector<string>* const pVec, int i);

int main()
{
    vector<string> v;
    v.push_back("A");
    v.push_back("B");
    v.push_back("C");

     cout << *(ptrToElement(&v, 0)) << endl;

     string* pStr = ptrToElement(&v, 1);
     cout << *pStr << endl;
    
     string str = *(ptrToElement(&v, 2));  
     cout << str << endl;
    
     *pStr = "Healing Potion";
     cout << v[1] << endl;
    
    return 0;
}

string* ptrToElement(vector<string>* const pVec, int i)
{
    //returns address of the string in position i of vector that pVec points to
    return &((*pVec)[i]);  
}
