Unary operators with pointer variables

If we want to increment the address of a pointer, we can make use of both the uniary operator ++ and the binary operator +

Increment the address of a pointer using +

uint32_t* pAddress = (uint32_t*) 0xFFFF0000;

  

pAddress = pAddress + 1;    // Aritmethic add

result

pAddress = 0xFFFF0004

Increment the address of a pointer using ++

uint32_t* pAddress = (uint32_t*) 0xFFFF0000;

  

pAddress++;    // Unary increment

result

pAddress = 0xFFFF0004
