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

pps is a pointer to pointer to short,

which means that *pps is a pointer to short (or array of shorts),

(*pps)[1] is just like *(*pps + 1) [pointers arithmetic],

and &(*(*pps + 1)) is the address of *(*pps+1),

or, in other words - (*pps+1) (which is a pointer to short).
