Some more examples:

  int v, *w, x[5], *y[5], (*z[5])(int, int);

Where v is an int, w is a pointer, x is an array, y is an array of pointers, z is an array of function pointers, etc.

Similarly, typedef is also just a keyword in front of a regular declaration.

  int foo[5];
  typedef int foo[5];

  int bar(void);
  typedef int bar(void);

Now you can use `bar *` as a function pointer.

The entire language works like this.
