Reejusri is correct....
VC++ compiler complains with error
"error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'int *'
1> Conversion from integral type to pointer type
requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style
cas" for the following code
int *x,y,z;
x=y;
So, there is a difference.

There is no diffrence between int* x and int *x.
but difference will come into picture when you use:
Case 1:
int* x,y,z;
and
Case2:
int *x,y,z;
in first case x,y and z are integer pointer, where as
un second case only x is integer pointer rest y and z is
integer. So its always a good practice not to put multiple
variable in single line.

Answer / sriram
yes. there is a difference.
Exactly to say, the second form is the integer pointer, but
the first form will produce an run time error.
