Question

I have a code snippet am struggling to understand.

char *c;   // c is uni dimensional table ( single row )

char **p ; // p is a two dimensional table 

**p = *c;  // what does this mean ?

When I do the above the assignment, is the c copied as first row of p ?

or c is copied as first column of p ?

Answer 1

**p = *c; // what does this mean ?

When I do the above the assignment , Is the c copied as first row of p ? or c is copied as first column of p ?

Neither, that code is copying the first element of c to the first element of p. Is equivalent to

p[0][0] = c[0];
