Pointer Declaration
To declare a pointer, here is the general form:
<![CDATA[
<dataType> * <variableName>;
<dataType>* <variableName>;
<dataType> *<variableName>;
]]>
The * in the declaration can be placed in any of the above positions legally.
Where you choose to place it is a matter of style. In my code, declarations
look like this:
<![CDATA[
int *aPtr, *bPtr;
int *intPtr;
char *lookAhead;
]]>
I put the * next to the variableName as to not confuse which variable is a
pointer. Personal Preference.
