C pointers as a linguistic paradox

Recently, an acquaintance whom I know through completely non-programmer circles asked to help him with the laboratory in C ++. The code was about the following:

void do_something(MyObj *input[], int count)
{
    MyObj **copy = new MyObj*[count];
    for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
        *copy[i] = *input[i];
    ...
}
