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.
