      char*

      one dimensional array of char. The pointer would contain the base address.

      kDevloper wrote:

      char**

      two dimensional array of chars or better said, one dimensional array of strings in some scenarios

      Some things seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

        in C++ ? the same as in C. char* is a pointer that points to a char. char** is a pointer that points to a char*. when char pointers are used like strings (C style strings then), char* is a string, and char** is an array of strings... but the later assertion depends of the context...
