hey @isingh
p is a character pointer.
p = sample_string;
through this statement, p will point to the 0th element of the string
p+=6
this statement, through pointer arithmetics will make p point at the 6th index of the string
so if you print p, the string will be printed from that index onwards.

p+=6 is the shortcut for wrinting p = p+6 . As p points to the first element of the array, if we add 6 to it will then point to the element with the index 6. In short, if we write p+=n , that means we are adding the value n to p and p will now be pointing to the element with index n .

#3

As you told p will point to the 0th element of string. But what I don’t get is how is printing p, printing the whole string? Is it internal mechanism of a pointer? Can you explain?

#4

When we print a character pointer it will print everything present before first Null char(\0)

#5

Is this property applicable for pointers of other data types as well, like int?

#6

Nope only for char pointers
