Figuring out C Declarations like: double (*b)[n]

Question

I\'m trying to figure out some C declarations. What is the meaning of these C declarations?

double (*b)[n];
double (*c[n])();
double (*d())[n];

Answer 1

There are two great resources to understand "C gibberish":

• http://cdecl.org/ - Online service that translates "C gibberish ↔ English"
• The "Clockwise/Spiral Rule" by David Anderson if you want to understand what better what is going on

Output of cdecl.org:

• double (*c[n])(): Syntax error (n is not valid here)
• double (*c[])(): declare c as array of pointer to function returning double
