A Complete Guide to using Double Pointer in C: Pointer-to-Pointer

A pointer can be declared to point to another pointer which points to a variable. Here, the first pointer contains the address of the second pointer. The second pointer points to an actual memory location where the data is stored, i.e. a variable. That’s the reason why we also call such pointers as double pointers.

Difference between char[] and char* in C? Character Array and Pointer

Generally, the following two statements about char[] and char * in C are considered confusing and understanding the difference between them is important. The first statement puts the literal string “mycplus” in read-only memory and copies the string to newly allocated memory on the stack.

There are two types of pointer operators; * and &. the & is a unary operator that returns the memory address of its operand.
