C++: Pointers and Arrays

Arrays and pointers have a close relationship. As we will soon see, an array in C++, is basically a constant pointer.

Before going on, copy and paste the code below to see the relationship between pointers and arrays.


#include ≤iostream>
#include ≤fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

const int SIZE = 5;
int numbers[SIZE];
int count;

cout<<"enter  " << SIZE <<" numbers, press 'enter' after each number "<< endl;
   for(int count=0;count <SIZE; count++){
       cin>> *(numbers +count);
       }

cout << "Here are the numbers (subscript syntax)" << endl;
		   for(count =0; count < SIZE; count++)
                cout<< numbers[count] <<endl;

cout<<"\n  Using pointer notation "<< endl;

    for(count =0; count < SIZE; count++)
        cout<< *(numbers + count) << endl;
   

    return 0;
}
