It means that it's a pointer to a memory address and not a variable, per se.

Read up on pointers in a C++ tutorial, like this one:

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/pointers/

Or look at Pointer Fun with Binky:

Either way, pointers are one of the most central aspects of C++ programming and without them, you might as well use another language.
