Here i = 8.

1) As p=&i is representing the value of i is 8.

2) q=&p => stores the address of p.
*q is the address stored in q ie address of p.
**q = value at address at p i.e. 8.

3) r=&q
Therefore *r= address of q.
**r= *(*q).
***r= *(*(*q)).
That i the value stored in p = 8.

Hence the answer is 8 8 8.
