Pointer question...last for the day? :-)

by mdh <mdeh@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 5, 2008 at 07:52 PM

One thing has puzzled me a while ( well, more than one thing!).

If I have a function:

foo( char *s){

char *t = s;

......


s++;  <<--- a few arbitrary times

}

Now...my question is this.

Is "t" independent of s, in the sense of:

1) Will it still point to the beginning of s, after s++ ?

2) I guess related to 1, if I now evaluate *t, will it be the first
character in s?

Thanks...that's it for today!!!
