[Dev-C++] Very simple Q 'm sure...

[Daniel G. <sp...@ho...>]

Look at the declaration for PName. It is declared as char *PName. The line 
cout<<PName; outputs the entire name.
HOWEVER if I declare the variable as char PName (with no *) only the first 
letter is outputted.
Can anyone tell me what the * is doing?

Thanks,
Daniel



#include <iostream>

#pragma warning (disable : 4101)

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	using namespace std;
	char *PName;
	cout << "Type passenger name\t";
	cin >> PName;
	cout << PName;
	return 0;
}
