C Programming - Command Line Arguments - Discussion

The answer is not B, because declaration of pointer to array of character pointers will look like:

char * (*argv)[some size];

Inside of main, "argv" is a pointer to a pointer to character,
or in other words, a pointer to string, it is more than just "array", because we can perform arithmetic operations on it.

For example, ++argv or --argv are legal statements for argv.

The answer of this question is B, as argv is a pointer to an array of pointer to strings.It is used as double pointer in the argument of main() mean it is a pointer to a pointer.

Hey option A is right yar because *argv[] means argv[] behaves like a array of character so *argv[] = it is an array of character pointer.

@shweta @vikas: yeah you both are right.

@shweta yes you are right.
