    Re: pointers

    ***a means pointer to a pointer to pointer.
    This means 'a' is pointer variable which holds address of another pointer which holds address of another variable which holds the actual value.

    Here is the example for ***
    #include<iostream.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    void main()
    { int i=10,*j,**k,***s;
    j=&i;
    k=&j;
    s=&k;
    cout<<***s; [This will print 10]
    cout<<"\n"<<**(&s); [This will print the address of k, means to say the address stored in s)
    getch();
    }
