It has been viewed 2109 times.Rating of 4.8 with 10 votes suppose a=10 and *c is an int variable and int pointer respectively, then 1.++c; This statement will increment the value of variable a which is pointed by *c. On the other hand, 2.c++; This statement will increment by address not by pointed value, performing pointer arithmetic. Of course both of these are just a general case of dereferencing a pointer, but it's important to know that the * "takes effect" before the ++ does! More tips Help your fellow programmers!
