in c programming and many others you specify variables by first given then a type say 'int' then the variable name say 'p' then you assign it a value if you want. in this case ('int *') will indicate that the variable will be an integer pointer. But if you just leave 'int*' by itself withouth giving it a variable name. it won't compile and you get a compiler error.
