Is there any difference between dlearations int* x and int *x? If so tell me the difference?..

Answer / steve

I think there is no difference.
Also,

Case 1:
int* x,y,z;

and

Case2:
int *x,y,z;

these two cases are exactly same.
In both cases, y and z are not pointers. They are int.

Answer / gopinath das

All the above answers are wrong.

There is no difference between int *x and int* x;
Also there is no agreement on waht is the best practice. It
depends on the organizations coding standard.
Even we can write int*x. But this is not a good practice.

Answer / uma sankar pradhan

There is no difference between int* x and int *x
Because in C,the number of spaces between two literals
doesnot mean anything.
example,
a+b is same as a + b or a+ b or a +b

Answer / foo

The difference is that in the first case the space is after
the * and in the second case the space is before.

Functionally there is no difference.

Arguably int* x is slightly worse since (as other answers
demonstrate) people can misinterpret "int* i, j" as
declaring two pointers-to-int where "int *i, j" is perhaps a
bit clearer.

Practically, you should adopt whatever style is required by
wherever you work or whomever you work with.

Answer / debendra nath tiwary

there is no difference between them here.
but difference comes how we use them.
(int*) can be used for typecasting.
(int *x) is used for declaration purpose. here x is declared as pointer variable.
even if declare like (int* x) is valid but not a formal way to
to declare pointer variable.
