I heard you like pointers, so I put pointer to pointer in your pointers

  In C, if you want to let a function change a variable (let’s call it x), you need to pass it a pointer to x.

  If x is a pointer to a pointer (**), in order to let a function edit x, you need to pass it to a pointer to x (in that case, a pointer to a pointer to a pointer ***).

    I love how “Three-Star Programmer” is a perjurative term in C/C++ circles.

  Implementing all OOP concepts is easy in C. Just gotta modify a pointer to a function pointer.
