Right? I've allocated a variable, it happens to be a pointer; it's still a variable, who know what's in it, right?

对不？我分配了一个变量，它碰巧是一个指针，它还是一个变量，谁知道它里面是什么？

When you declare a pointer yourself manually, you do say char * the variable name because recall that's the same thing that we did earlier but we called it instead string.

当你手动声明一个指针是，你可以说char，*，变量名字,因为那是我早些时候做的事情,但是我们叫它为字符串。
