declaring array of double pointers

What do you mean "of any data type"?
int **a[10] is "declare a as array of (10), pointer to pointer to int"

int **a[10];
is an array of "pointers to pointers_to_int"

Volatile void , by any data type i meant char or an int.
Say we are considering int


jaime
i check it out,
a is a pointer to an array of int_pointer

int  a;    /*  integer a  */

int *a;   /*  pointer to an integer array (or pointer to an integer -- length can be 1)  */
int a[];  /*  pointer to an integer array (or pointer to an integer -- length can be 1) */

int **a;  /*  pointer to a pointer to an integer (or pointer to a pointer to an integer array -- length can be 1)  */
int *a[];  /*  pointer to a pointer to an integer (or pointer to a pointer to an integer array -- length can be 1)  */

Every time you add a '*' you add another 'pointer to ' to the description.

It's all a matter of how you read it. In this case, cdecl is quite helpful:
cdecl> explain int (*a)[]
declare a as pointer to array of int
cdecl> explain int *a[]
declare a as array of pointer to int

Notice the parenthesis.

kent,
in int *a[]
a is an array of int_pointers, its is not the way u say, due to the precedence

yes volatilevoid,

when i say
cdecl> explain int .....
it has to return me
declare a as array of pointer to pointer to int

#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>


using namespace std;

int main()
{
int **a[10];
int *b[10];
// assign *b[i] to 10 different integer integer.
int c[10]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0};
for (int j=0;j<10;j++)
b[j]=&c[j];

for (int i =0;i<10;i++)
a[i]=&(b[i]);

for (int i =0;i<10;i++)
cout<<**a[i];
 getch();
 return 0;  
}
this is what you want?

In that case it's int **a[];
a is an array OF pointer to pointer to int.

If I had int (**a)[]; then a is pointer to pointer to array of int.
Parenthesis have higher precedence.

>>pointer to a pointer (double pointers) of any data type.

Check out the following links:
http://code.axter.com/allocate2darray.h
http://code.axter.com/allocate2darray.cpp

Using the above Allocate2DArray function, you can create a pointer to a pointer of any type dynamically.

Example code:

int x = 4;
int y = 6;

float **My2DFloat = ALLOCATE2DARRAY(float, x, y);
int**My2DInt = ALLOCATE2DARRAY(int, x, y);

// You can also free the memory using a single wrapper function.

Free2DArray(My2DFloat);
Free2DArray(My2DInt);
