Thread: typedef for pointer to array of char

Again doing an exercise in C++ Programming Language 3rd edition chapter five.

This time it's typedefs.
I can't seem to figure out a typedef for a pointer to an array of char.
****
figured it out
typedef char (*tpcharray)[size];


If you read my post about refrence to an array of char, Prelude's solution for declaration is
char charray[8];
char (&rcharray)[8]=charray;

I was using
char * pachar=charray; // as a pointer to array of char is this correct?
or is
char (*pachar)[size]; // the correct way


or would you do somthing like

char (*pcharray)[8]=charray;

I figured out an array of pointers ie
typedef char* pcharray[8];

An array of chars: char *array[] is equal to char ** const array;
So, a pointer to an array of pointers to char would be char***pointer. But my compiler accepts char**(*pointer). I do not know why.
