I am purely new to C++, I did Java 10 years ago and between this I used mainly R and Perl.
Now I have to extend the code written by someone and I am confused with the using of the pointer operator"*".
Is there a difference between writing it at the end of the type (f.e. "unsigned char* thing"), or writing it at the beginning of the variables name (f.e. "unsigned char *thing")?
Even in books the "grammar" seems to differ, what leads me to a "should not differ" meaning, but I want to be sure, so I ask you...
