Watch these videos as it doesn't seem like you really understand what the stack and heap are.

On “How variables are stored”
Variables are either stored on the stack or the heap. They can also be held in the small amount of memory in the CPU which are called registers, but it is just a copy.
Variables called pointers have a value that is actually the memory address of another variable.
