I am studying for a C language exam, and a study guide I am using states 
that the declaration char **ch; is equivalent to char *ch;

I am having difficulty understanding this. My interpretation of the
declaration char **ch is that we have a pointer to a pointer to a char.
I think that this would be equivalent to the declaration char *ch[]
rather than what the study guide says. 

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

orville.
