C'mon, guys! (Really, pointer pedagogy)

[Praveen Kumar]

I believe that a lot of the notation in C is derived from PDP assembly
language.  I think (it has been long time since I mucked around with
PDPs) that the increment, "++", and the dereferencing, "*" operators are
straight out of PDP assembly.  That is, they work the same way in
PDP assembly.
