title: What does char * mean
body: <p>So...say I had a function like this...</p>
  
  <pre><code>int function( const char *c )
  {
   //do something with the char *c here...
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>what does <code>char *c</code> mean?  I know about chars in general I think but I don't get what the * does...or how it changes the meaning.  </p>
