The symbol ?*? tells the computer that you are declaring a pointer. Actually it depends on context. In a statement like int *ptr; the ?*? tells that you are declaring a pointer. In a statement like int i = *ptr; it tells that you want to assign value pointed to by ptr to variable i.
The symbol ?*? is also called as Indirection Operator/ Dereferencing Operator.

Ques 32. Why do we Use a Multidimensional Array?
A multidimensional array can be useful to organize subgroups of data within an array. In addition to organizing data stored in elements of an array, a multidimensional array can store memory addresses of data in a pointer array and an array of pointers.
Multidimensional arrays are used to store information in a matrix form. e.g. a railway timetable, schedule cannot be stored as a single dimensional array. One can use a 3-D array for storing height, width and length of each room on each floor of a building.
