Why we need Pointer-to-Pointer and Reference-to-Pointer ???
When we use "pass by pointer" to pass a pointer to a function, only a copy of the pointer is passed to the function. We can say "pass by pointer" is passing a pointer using "pass by value." In most cases, this does not present a problem. But, a problem arises when you modify the pointer inside the function. Instead of modifying the variable, it points to it by de-referencing. When you modify the pointer, you are only modifying a copy of the pointer and the original pointer remains unmodified.

Blogging is about ideas, self-discovery, and growth. This is a small effort to grow outside my comfort zone.
Most important , A Special Thanks to my parents(Sri Ramachandra Rao & Srimathi Nagamani), my wife(Roja), my lovely daughter (Hansini) and son (Harshil) for their inspiration and continuous support in developing this Blog.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.
