Using the object twice changes value

[member 428835]

Can't figure out the code below why the second output in main outputs 101 instead of 1. Something about calling ob1.reverse(s) before the pointer points to reverse(s), but I'm confused. Any help is much appreciated.

#include <iostream>
class Solution {
private:
    int r = 0;
    int new_num = 0;
public:
    int reverse(int s_) {
        while(s_ > 0) {
            r = s_ % 10;
            new_num = new_num*10 + r;
            s_ = (s_ - r)/10;
        }
        return new_num;
    }
};
int main()
{
    int s = 10;
    Solution ob1;
    auto sol = ob1.reverse(s);
    std::cout << sol <<"\n";
   
   Solution* ptr = &ob1;
    int a = ptr->reverse(s);
    std::cout << a <<"\n";
}

youre working with obj1 directly and via a pointer. The first time using obj1 it’s internal variables are set to zero.

The second time you work with obj1 via a pointer the variables are set to what they were from the first time.

You can check this by adding a print statement to the start of the reverse method to see whether the internal variable new_num is zero or not.
