    Advanced Pointer Notation

    Consider pointer notation for the two-dimensional numeric arrays. consider the following declaration

    int nums[2][3]  =  { { 16, 18, 20 }, { 25, 26, 27 } };

    In general, nums[ i ][ j ] is equivalent to *(*(nums+i)+j)

    Advanced Pointers and the syntax for implementation

    Yes - This can be a bit confusing...but if you slowly walk through each one it DOES make sense.
