I have a question :
How to understand the mean of char** type ?

char is a type - objects of that type are 1 byte in size and can contain as
their value any single member of the execution character set.

char is an integer type and an object of that type can contain any
value between CHAR_MIN and CHAR_MAX, inclusive (independent of whether
the value represents a member of the execution character set).


char * is a type - objects of that type are sizeof(char *) bytes in size,
and can contain as their value the address of a single char.

char ** is a type - objects of that type are sizeof(char **) bytes in size,
and can contain as their value the address of a single char *.

What is the question behind the question?
