pointer and array execution

[sweet parrot]

#include<stdio.h>
int main() { //*ptr = &a


float values[6] = {10.5, 100.9, 200, 4.1, 989.38, 2.3};
float *ptr;
ptr = values;    // OR ptr = &values[0]

printf("%f" , *(ptr+4)) ;

return 0;
}```

[sweet parrot]

is there any other way to print values[4]
instead of *(ptr + 4)

[supple vector]

that's what [] does

it's an offset from the first element

[sweet parrot]

what

can't get what you want to say

[supple vector]

values[4] = &values[0] + 4

I mean if you want

you could make the pointer point to the end of the array

and offset backwards

[sweet parrot]

&values[0] mean location of values[0]

am i right ?

[supple vector]

general gist yeah

it's 4 elements ahead

[sweet parrot]

using ptr varliable

any other way

like

ptr[4] or *ptr[4]

[supple vector]

yeah

the pointer points to the beginning of the array

[sweet parrot]

or there is only one way
*(ptr +2)

[supple vector]

so you can use the [] operator the same way

[sweet parrot]

please write it once what you want to point

[supple vector]

because ptr points to the beginning of values

values[4] = ptr[4]

[sweet parrot]

so according to you
ptr[4] = *(ptr +4)

did i got right ?

[supple vector]

yeah

they're the same thing

[] is for convenience and looks nicer

[sweet parrot]

f my vs code is shit
few minutes ago it was showing wrong output on using ptr[4]

[sweet parrot]

thank you
