Why do we use “int *p” over “int* p”?

Question

Please, describe the method clearly.

Answer 1

Technically, those are the same as compilers ignore whitespace. It is more important when you do something like this:
int *p, a[10], c;
It helps the person reading it to see the fact that p is a pointer to int, a is an array of 10 int, and c is a regular int.

Answer 3

@john Wells. yes true, and still i would not recommend piling up declarations on the same line like that in the first place:-)
