  14. Consider these declaration statements:
  15.  
  16. static char allocbuf[10000];
  17. static char *allocp;
  18. allocp = allocbuf; /* allocp points to allocbuf[0] */
  19.  
  20. Now consider this:
  21.  
  22. static char allocbuf[10000];
  23. static char *allocp = allocbuf;
  24.  
  25.  
  26. I am new to pointers and their syntax; I just want to know if these two 
  27. different declaration expressions are saying the exactly the same thing. 
  28. I would appreciate any help..
