On websites and in books there are various announcements and the use of pointers:

char *p;

and

 char* p;

Is there any difference between them? When what spelling is used?

    Absolutely none, like char*p or char * p . The compiler simply ignores spaces. A matter of taste (or adopted in the team where you work, programming style).

    But!

    Remember that

     char * p, i;

    this is a declaration of a pointer p and a variable i type char ( i is not a pointer!).
