I'm converting some code from some ugly C. The code defines one particular array, and a constant like this:
static float snorm[169]; static float *p = snorm; and then later has an assignment: *snorm = 1.0; and then again later (n is an integer iterator): *(snorm+n) = *(snorm+n-1)*(float)(2*n-1)/(float)n; The question is this: It looks like the code is simply assigning values to an array, so why bother with the pointers? Elsewhere the code uses arrays normally (ie. indexing them with the square brackets) so that makes me think maybe this is doing something other than just putting values into the array. Also, I'm assuming that the "p" variable is just a pointer into snorm? Can anyone make this clear for me? Cheers, Phil. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
