char**
So that you can have an array of strings. It's useful to remember that in C arrays and pointers are exactly the same thing, just syntax sugar for however you want to look at it. There are a few exceptions where this isn't true however:
- Argument of the
&
operator - Argument of
sizeof
- C11 has
alignof
which decay is a no-no - When it's a string literal of
char[]
or wide literal ofwchar_t[]
, so likechar str[] = "yo mama";
But int**
is just an array of int*
, which likewise int*
can just be an array of int
. In the picture here, we have int** anya
that is an array of int*
with a size of 1, int* anya
that is an array of int
with a size of 1, and then of course our int
there being pointed to by int* anya
.
For those wondering. Yes is real post.
Maybe he is thinking of scraping? He did file a lawsuit trying to go after four different people for "scraping". But one, the identity of the four hasn't even been figured out yet. And two, the Ninth Circuit ruled last year that scraping by itself is not illegal and leaned on the standard the Fifth Circuit put in that, scraping is only illegal if it enriches a person.
Either way, I guess now that I've linked his post it's up to you all to decide how you will handle the moral conundrum of downloading a Tweet.
