Declaration starting with the

declares types. It is a common practice to name custom type identifiers with start-
ing capital letter — this is not required by C.
For example:
// Let's declare a synonym for "unsigned long int":
typedef unsigned long int Distance;
// Now, synonym "Distance" can be used as type identifier:
Distance i; // declare variable i of unsigned long int
In typedef declaration, as in any declaration, you can declare several types at once.
For example:
typedef int *Pti, Array[10];
