For some time the following has been annoing me, where should I put the star in my pointer notation.
int *var; // 1
and
int* var; // 2
obviously do the same thing, and both notations are correct, but I find that most literature and code I look at use the 1th notation.
wouldn't it be more 'correct' to use the 2th notation, separating the type and the variable name by a whitespace, rather than mixing the type and variable tokens?
