    It's an array of pointers to ints. If it was a pointer to an array of ints it would either be int* numbers, or int numbers[]. In any of these cases, however, it is VERY bad that the function call doesn't have an argument that specifies how many entries there are in the array. That failure is a sure fire way to a buffer overflow security breach.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
