The first one is multiplication, and the other two are indirection. The first

has a number (which could obviously be a variable or a function or whatever)

before the * and the other two don't.

Not AFAIK. (BTW, the y=3*x doesn't compile, because you can't multiply a

pointer by 3. y=3*(*x) would work [parentheses are for clarity, and it

compiles just as well without them].)
