Message: [QUOTE="Mike Wahler, post: 1527425"] It doesn't point to anything at all. It's not a pointer, it's an array. An array is not a pointer. A pointer is not an array. You will get a diagnostic from a conforming compiler. Neither should compile at all. So those answers don't really mean anything. That's not a pointer to an array, but a pointer to a (single) type 'int' object. A pointer to the above array would be defined as: int (*p)[100]; As defined by you above (int *ptr), it points to a memory address whose value is sizeof(int) bytes greater than the address it previously stored (before the increment). It appears to me that the interviewer doesn't know C++ (which is very common in my experience). -Mike [/QUOTE]
