When I first learned about pointers back in second year, there were a bit of confusion among my class mates. I wasn’t confused but I wrote but i wrote pointers like this:
char* a = “bla”
The above made a lot of sense. I read it as “a character pointer named a”. I never understood why people insist on writing
char *a= “bla”
How does one read the above, and why doest make sense to so many programmers out there ? the * is part of the type description not the name of the variable it is not a char named *a so why is it written like that.
Maybe someone will tell me some day, but until then I will continue to correct pointer declarations quietly. One pointer at a time.
