If I define a new (int) array, and increment the dereferenced pointer to this array by 1, why do I get the following result?
int main()
{
int myArray[1024];
myArray[0] = 123;
myArray[1] = 456;
printf("%d \n", *myArray);
printf("%d \n", *myArray+1);
return 0;
}
The output is:
123
124
Why is the next value not 456? And, why does the output skip over 3?
>Solution :
Operator precedence. The * binds more tightly, so the + 1 applies to the result of dereferencing. *(myArray + 1) would give you the result you expect, 456. As would the rather more idiomatic myArray[1].
