Pointer declarations and expressions

Pointer declarations and expressions

It is only a half-truth that these two uses of the * character have nothing to do with each other.

The important point to come away with is that using the * character in declarations:

float *fptr;

is different from using it in expressions:

float fl;
...
fl=82.3 + *fptr;

From this perspective, the two uses of the * character have nothing to do with each other.
