Yes… how is “reducing exclamation marks” a good thing when you do it by adding a ' (not to be confused with , ´,‘or’` …which are all different characters).
Does this rely on the assumption that everyone uses a US QWERTY keyboard where ! happens to be slightly more inconvenient than typing '?
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;
