Question

All programming languages I am familiar to (C/C++, Java, C#, Objective C) accept both notations. So I want to know which is semantically correct: Object* myObj or Object *myObj?

Answer 1

Well, it depends. Both are correct but I generally use the Object*, because the pointer itself can be considered a type and it is more readable.

But there is a problem with that. The pointer in C, by real, is just a modification of a type, and not a real type. If you declare multiple variables in one single line as this:

Object *a, b;

You will have a as a pointer to Object and b as one instance of Object, so I imagine that the correct way is to put the pointer with the variable.
