Hello everyone,
I could not find a proper answer to my question, so here I am.
Could someone explain me the difference between "int *a" and "int (*a)" in c ?
I now that "int *a" is an array (integer pointer) but then,
what is "int (*a)" ?
If someone could help me, I would be very glad,
Thanks for helping me.

Re: int *a and int (*a)
Those two statements are the same thing, the latter form is just more explicit. The parentheses are unnecessary because they group things using the default grouping rules.
Similar to the way "2 + (3 * 4)" is the same as "2 + 3 * 4".
