如果a是一个数组，那么函数（1，a + 2）中的加法意味着什么？

Question

I was looking at this piece of code and I'm not sure what the addition means if "a" is an array.

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
int a[] = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9};

function(1, a+2);
return 0;}

Assume the function is already created.

Answer 1

In an expression (except when used with sizeof or &), an array name is a pointer to the first element in the array. So a+2 is "pointer arithmetic" on that pointer, and results in a pointer to the element at offset 2. It is equivalent to &a[2] .
