Tricky pointer question

Question

I\'m having trouble with a past exam question on pointers in c which I found from this link, http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/exams/pastpapers/y2007p3q4.pdf

The question

Answer 1

pps is a pointer to a pointer. It is dereferencing pps. So now you have a pointer. As arrays are just pointers you are then using pps as an array.

It is then same as:

short ps[2] = {0x0001,0x034c};
short **pps = &ps;

so the result is: 0x034c
