Thread: multiple pointers

I think this very simple example will explain everything

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    char* a;
    char* b;
    char array[6];
    array[0]='s';
    array[1]='a';
    array[2]='m';
    array[3]='a';
    array[4]='r';
    array[5]='\0';

    a = array; /*set pointer a to array*/
    /* the above is equivalent to to setting pointer a to the address of the first element of the array*/
    for( i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++)
       printf("%c\n",a[i]);
    b = a; /*set pointer b to pointer a*/
    printf("Now b\n");
    for( i = 0 ; i < 6 ; i++) /* guess what this will print/*
       printf("%c\n",b[i]);
    return 0;
}

for better understanding of pointer just draw the memory in a paper
