Simple Pointer Question

[Elena]

This one has always bugged me. I am new to C/C++ (As if you guys couldn't tell). Anyway, when I look at some sample code, I see different ways of declaring a pointer(I think). I just want to make sure that there is no difference between:

char *string[64];

and

char * string[64];

They are both pointers to string, right? I see the latter much more frequently in sample code, but the former in most of the books I have read.

Thanks,
Elena

it is no difference. Just a pointer to a string.

Just to elborate on IonFilipski's post, that is correct there is no difference in the 2 because white space doesn't matter in C/C++ (with a few exceptions).

You could also write the following:

char* string[64];
char * string[64];
