Wait. It’s been a long time but shouldn’t be int*** -> int** -> int* -> int ?

    I think int*** is meant to be pointing at int**, but the image is just unclear about where everything is in perspective.

    Pretty sure the image is clear:

    int*** -> int*
int** -> int
Int* -> int

    Clarity doesn’t mean correct. But that’s probably why it’s posted here. 🤷‍♂️

    int** is inside a TV, and persumably int* must be inside another TV(even though uts not edited in). The image perespective is showing one thing inside the other, inside the other. So when when int*** points the TV it reference int**, which reference int* which reference int. Its just edited very bad

    RT*** isn't pointing at RT*, he's pointing at the TV showing RT**. The fact you think otherwise is what makes the image unclear. I'm not sure why you insist on them being wrong.

    It’s to check to see if commenters know how to escape the symbol. Congratulations! You passed!
