int * p;
int **pp;
pp = p;//pointing to our pointer
int a;
*pp = &a;
//Dilemma here
//how do I access "a" from pp.
//Is it **pp?
|
Yes.
p is an int**
therefore
*p is an int*
therefore
**p is an int

int a, *b, **c;
a = 5;
b = &a;
c = &b; //&&a
cout << a << endl;
cout << *b << endl;
cout << **c << endl;

int a, *b, **c;
c = new int*;
*c = new int;
b = *c;
*b = 5;
a = *b;
cout << a << endl;
delete b;
delete c;
