30.
int array at 1000
| Pointer | Address | Value |
|---|---|---|
| p | 1000 | 10 |
| p + 1 | 1004 | 20 |
| p + 2 | 1008 | 30 |
Remember
| p + 1: next element |
| Jump = size of type |
Does p plus one add one to the address? No. It jumps a whole int, four bytes. P is one thousand. P plus one is one thousand four. P plus two is one thousand eight. Remember. Plus one means the next element. The jump is the type size.
