int* x; // x is an int-pointer int *y; // dereferencing y gives an int int * z; // int multiplied by z I'm being silly, but floating the the asterisk b

int* x; // x is an int-pointer int *y; // dereferencing y gives an int int * z; // int multiplied by z I'm being silly, but floating the the asterisk between the type and the identifier gives me the same feeling as the "array indices start at 0.5" compromise mentioned earlier. (For the record, the second way is the universal and objective truth.)
