Character pointers and integer pointers (++)

Question

I have two pointers,

char *str1;
int *str2;

If I look at the size of both the pointers let’s assume

str1=4 bytes
str2=4 byt         


        

Answer 1

A char is 1 byte, an int is (typically) 4 bytes. When you increment a pointer, you increment by the size of the data being pointed to. So, when you increment a char*, you increment by 1 byte, but when you increment an int*, you increment 4 bytes.
