pointer

Is (*ptr).age the same as ptr->age?

Thanks.

Yes

but why is this on the C board? C doesn't have pointers, but C++ does.

This should be a crime.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	char * msg = "Hello World";
	printf(msg);
	return 0;
}

Compile that with a strictly C compiler.

Code may not be the best, but the point is C has pointers!?!?!?
