Explanation about variable

[nines]

Hi,
I would be very grateful if someone explains me what this variable means : Type* &Var
I do know what is pointer and what is ampersand ( address operator in this case ), but these two together in one variable is what i do not get, and what is it used for.

Thanks in advance :)!

The ampersand in this case is not the address operator, it is a type modifier to make the type a reference type.

Type * & is a reference to a pointer to Type.
