@hemnath   in your code

printf("\t%d\t",**p);

when p contain base  address of  a   then why we are dereferencing p two times ??

During declaration we just specify the type and no memory is allocated to the variable. But during the definition an initial value is assigned and memory is allocated to the variable.

 So, in the below line memory will not created

static int (*p)[3];
