Question

I know that:

char * pword;  

declares a table which first element is used as a pointer.
And

*pword <=> * (&pword[0]) <=> pword[0]  

(Tell me if I’m wrong.)

But what I want to know is if char* is a type (as int is for integers) and if yes does it represents an address?

Answer 1

Yes, char* is a type, and a variable of that type represents a memory address for a char-type variable (formally a “pointer to char”). The C data types article on Wikipedia is a good introduction of the various types.
