Hi guys, reverse engineering a data structures piece of code.
The is a function that reverses pointers in an array.
The definitio
void reverse(string**,int);

why does string pointer have 2*?

If I remove one, i get the error
:cannot convert `std::string**' to `std::string*' for argument `1' to `void print(std::string*, int)'

just not sure what it does.
thanks

Whenever there are ** asterisks by a variable in C++ this is indicating that it is expecting a paramater
that is a pointer to a pointer.

For example, my first name is Daniel
Below is a snippet demonstrating pointer to pointer logic.

string* target = new string("Daniel");
string** lockon = ⌖
cout << "Lockon to target: " << **lockon << endl;
delete target;

So above I have dynamically allocated the target pointer.
Then I pass it's address to the lock on pointer.
I call the dereferencing operator twice to lock on to the target and output it's contents in memory.
Finally I delete the target returning memory for allocation on the heap.
Pointers are fun!
