Tricky pointer question

Question

I\'m having trouble with a past exam question on pointers in c which I found from this link, http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/exams/pastpapers/y2007p3q4.pdf

The question

Answer 1

The expression is parsed as &((*pps)[1]); pps is being treated as a pointer to an array, you're accessing the first element of that pointed-to array, and then taking the address of that element.
