There we go, not too hard to work that one out was it, now onto the real dodgy problem:Quote:first[array]
array[first] ==
*(array + first) ==
*(first + array) ==
first[array]
Anyone know about this random little feature of C?
array[first] ==
*(array + first) ==
*(first + array) ==
first[array]

AH-HAH! I was tryin' to remember WHY that was legal.

In that case it would be better to docout << "I" " am " " fine " << endl;
Yep. So it really is a useful feature after all [smile]

I use that a feature alot. You want to see a strange feature, try
*** Source Snippet Removed ***
I have no idea how that creeped into the language.
In asm x86 there are something similar
[bx + 4] == [bx]4 == 4[bx]
and other fun things with arrays and indexing that I don't remember
I would be really surprised if that feature was not mentioned in your ordinary C-introduction book! (first chapter)
Now, wanna to see an ugly string? Not recommended for various reasons...

Well, gcc grouses about it but compiles it nevertheless.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition doesn't even issue a warning on warning level 4. (much to my surprise.)

Does that work if 'array' is an array of STRUCTs that arent 1 byte (or <= the alignments size) ?????
ex- a struct that is 2 alignment sizes (9-16 if you have it set to 8 byte...)
the [ ] is supposed to multiply the coefficient by the struct size and should point to data in different places in some of the 4 versions shown.
(and thus it only works in certain cases...)
