C syntax : <type> *p C++ syntax : <type>* p The compiler doesn't care which you use. They both mean the same thing. > Why the "extra" whitespace in the declaration? Cause some developer felt like coding that way. (I don't like his/her style but it's still valid) The compiler knows that it's not multiplication because it is a type declaration. Remove the type and it would mean multiplication. The same rule applies to multiplying integer/floating point variables. a* b = a *b = a * b The compiler knows the difference between variables and types.
