Edit Question
Title
Body
Based on my understanding of pointer to pointer to an array of characters, % ./pointer one two argv +----+ +----+ | . | ---> | . | ---> "./pointer\0" +----+ +----+ | . | ---> "one\0" +----+ | . | ---> "two\0" +----+ From the code: int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("Value of argv[1]: %s", argv[1]); } My question is, Why is argv[1] acceptable? Why is it not something like (*argv)[1]? My understanding steps: Take argv, dereference it. It should return the address of the array of pointers to characters. Using pointer arithmetics to access elements of the array.
