Hello,
I would like to know what are the advantages of use pointers to
insert/modify values in an array of characters for example.
char myword[2];
*myword = 'h';
*(myword + 1)='i';
why would i use this ( the intruction: *(myword + offset))?
what is the advantages of use this manipulation of array with these
pointers ?
In the last line, do I increment the address that contains what s points
to right ??
Why I increment it in '1' instead of a memory word concept?
Thanks
