a char is obviously distinct from a pointer to a char, and for me that's enough to qualify it (conceptually) as a separate type
and I read the statement as "char pointer named [name]". char pointer, then the name. I guess I could see it the other way too, but it doesn't look as clear to me

idk the way i justify it is because it looks nice to me and a read it like

"this char type variable points to S" whereas you see it as "this character pointer is equal to s"

idk why I do it tbh

Being that I am finally learning C++, I have immense appreciation for this image

Metario:

--- Code: ---def coolsisLogin(u, p):
blah = {'alias':'spa', 'memberName':'LoginStudent', 'dataSourceName':'', 'operationType':'call'}
blah['_transaction'] = '<transaction xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:Object"><operations xsi:type="xsd:List"><elem xsi:type="xsd:Object"><clientTypeCode>FTP</clientTypeCode><username>%s</username><password>%s</password><operationConfig/></elem></operations></transaction>' % (u, p)
r = requests.post('https://(myschool).sis.cool/Gateway.ashx?outputXML=true', data = blah)
pp = r.text.decode('utf-8')
xmlParser = ET.fromstring(pp.replace("utf-16", "utf-8"))
response = xmlParser[1].text
return response

Why does this need to be so damn complicated just to get a session
