C pointer variables

Which is the better way to write them?


char* timmy = "hello\n";
or

char *timmy = "hello\n";

int i, j, *ip;
int* ip, i;
The first one makes sense. All of the following are of type int, i, j, and the thing that is behind the pointer *ip; With the second option, you imply that, sure, ip is of the type of pointer to int, but so is i.

grabs *dick;
