Pointers in c++

Question

What’s the difference between int* v and int *v?

Answer 1

they are same in fact

Answer 2

No difference when there's only one definition in the line. Difference will be noticeable when multiple variable are defined in a single line.

int* a, b, c;
// Here <a> is an `int` pointer, <b> and <c> are `int`

int *a, *b, *c;
// Here <a>, <b> and <c> are all `int` pointers

int *a;
int* b;
// No difference, only one variable definition per the line.
