Odd. One uses the data structures that are necessary to solve the problem. In C, can typedef things to make them clearer but there’s stars underneath. In chemistry,

Atomic symbol - char *, List of elements in a molecule - char **, List of elements in a list of molecules - char ***

But then, is it char*** p or char ***p? Do you think of what it represents or how it is referenced?

Bloody stars can’t easily be represented which is odd in a website dedicated to coders.
