Muhammad,
you are in essence asking general C++ programming questions about the
difference between regular member variables and pointers, and how to return
objects by value, by reference, or by pointer. The answer is that yes, you can
do as you suggest above. But I would suggest you take a look at a good C++
book or online resource to understand *why* the answer is yes :-)
Best
