Re: Array iteration

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie in c++ and I have a question related to the
an exercise in Stroustrup's book, namely
5.9/8. It's about iterations in a given array using pointers vs using
indexes. The indexes one I managed to write, but when I try to execute
the pointer variant (it compiles ok on BSD and Linux also) , I get the
string I wanted to see plus lots of gibberish and a segfault. What's
wrong? Here's the code :
1 #include <iostream>
2
3 using namespace std;
4
5
6
7 int main()
8 {
9 int i;
You don't need 'i' here, do you?
10 char *p;
11 char v[] = "Testing...";
12
13 for(p = v; p != 0; p++)
How would 'p' ever become 0 (null pointer)? Perhaps you meant to
compare the *contents* of the memory to which 'p' points with 0?
Also, consider declaring 'p' where you need it, not up ahead, waaaay
before ever using it.
14 cout << *p << endl;
15
16 return 0;
17 }
Please avoid posting line numbers in the future, they are in the way.
When your code is more complicated, somebody (like I) will want to
copy-and-paste your code and compile it and run it, but then they'd need
to clean out all those extraneous digits...
