difference between int* i and int *i

Question

I\'m converting a header file for a DLL written in C to Delphi so I can use the DLL.

My question is what is the difference between

int* i
         


        

Answer 1

As far as C goes they both do the same thing. It is a matter of preference. int* i shows clearly that it is an int pointer type. int *i shows the fact that the asterisk only affects a single variable. So int *i, j and int* i, j would both create i as an int pointer and j as an int.
