Int *p is unreadable, unreasonable, and bad programming.
But C syntax clearly hints to
int *pbeing the expected format.Otherwise you would only need to do
int* p, qto declare two pointers... however doing that only declarespas pointer. You are actually required to type*in front of each variable name intended to hold a pointer in the declaration:int *p, *q;That's because C was designed by a fool.
What, could you have done better in 70-whatever?
The fools who created Unix
And C!
Why so? It’s what it actually is
