difference between int* i and int *i

I'm converting a header file for a DLL written in C to Delphi so I can use the DLL.

My question is what is the difference between

int* i

and

int *i

I convert the first to

i: PInteger;

But i'm not sure what the correct conversion is for the second one in Delphi.

from my understanding the first is a simple typed pointer. The second is a pointer variable. but i'm not sure what the difference is.

As far as C goes they both do the same thing. It is a matter of preference. int* i shows clearly that it is an int pointer type. int *i shows the fact that the asterisk only affects a single variable. So int *i, j and int* i, j would both create i as an int pointer and j as an int.

int* i and int *i are completely equivalent
