int a=256; imagine integer is 4 bytes. so in memory it will look like this 00000000--last byte.. 00000000 00000001------- p 00000000---starting byte of a but the char pointer is pointing to 1 byte of integer, u incremented it point to 2nd byte and assigned the new value 2(it was 1 before)
so it became 512.. 00000000 00000000 00000010----p 00000000 ---- a On Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 6:21 PM, rohit jangid <[email protected]>wrote: > isn't that simply because if little indian endian way of storing bytes in > memory > > initial -- 00000000 00000001 0...... > finally-- 00000000 00000010 0...... > > On Sep 22, 2011 5:38 PM, "Rohit Upadhyaya" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > int main() > > { > > int a=256; > > char *p=&a; > > *++p=2; > > printf("%d",a); > > return(0); > > } > > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Algorithm Geeks" group. > > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Algorithm Geeks" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
