Hello!
This question is about C and pointers, and the point is how to say the words correctly in enlish. So if you have knowledge in other pointer-programming-languages you can probably give me a good answer anyway.

look at the line :typedef int* PINT
What is it called when * is a pointer and not just a mathematical sign?

Then how do I say the sentence:
Typedef int of pointers, PINT. (that is the the way I would form the sentence in my langauge)
Typedef int with pointers, PINT
Typedef int by pointers, PINT
Or is it better to say: Typedef int with pointer, PINT



How do one say: char * argv[ ] ; in english?
I know what it does buthow do I say the sentence:
Char of pointers argv[ ]
Char with pointers argv[ ]
Char by pointers argv[ ]
Char with pointer argv[ ]
Which way is the most normal way to express and pronounce it?

Best reagards
Veronika

* is usually pronounced as "star".
