int abc[]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}; array behv

[Humaira]

i want to knw abt the behavior of this array int abc[]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}; ?


int abc[]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};

for (int i=0; i< 10 ; ++i){

cout<<*abc;
abc++; // why is this thing not working ??


}
cout<<*abc<<endl;

You will have to understand the behave of pointer.
when you define like this

int abc[]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};

compiler creates an array name abc with length of 10 and set the value you put.

now its an array and also abc is a pointer. abc is pointing on some address.

so, if you print abc you will actually print the address of abc;

I will have to go, you better read about accessing pointer

you delare:
int abc[]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};

after that, abc variable will become constant pointer point to the first element in this array and it means you can not change the value of it.

so operation:
abc++;

is impossible.

good catch. very important point. what compiler are you using?
