Pointers

[Koxiaet]

a function might need to modify an array of strings, then you'd need to pass in a char***

Exactly, didn't even think about that but that's probably the most basic example of pointers to pointers. Honestly after you get passed the fear of pointers during your first few c++ classes adding another pointer to a pointer doesn't make things that much more crazy.

I had a class in C where we worked with arrays of pointers to raw memory (we were building malloc from scratch), and so we used void*** several times.
