If you had the following code: int x = 23; int *y; y = &x; The instruction y++; does what?..

Answer / naresh kumar

here Y is integer pointer which is storing address of x.
suppose we assume address of X is 65524. this value will stored in pointer variable Y. int variable is capable of storing 2 bytes of memory. If increment or decrement variable Y, It points to next memory location, i.e 65526.

that means y=65524
y++
65526
y++
65528
this will keep on increasing by 2 bytes.

Then y will point to next memory location.
