asterisk is in front of

[Pink_Flower]

int* x;
int *x;

Those are some computer programming language instructions. I want to know what is the location of asterisk sign in both instructions? i mean for example in the first one, the asterisk sign is beside 'int' or in front of 'int'? how about the second one?


Thank you.

Neither. It's after int.

How about the second one?

It's before x.

Thank you.

You're welcome!

Thanks again. Can't we use front in none of them?

In the second one, the asterisk is in front of the x.

Stick with before and after.

Yes, Pink, I agree with Tarheel. Those are more natural. That's why I didn't originally suggest in front of or behind.
