In the below program, I am creating a character and float pointer and incrementing the pointer by 1 using the increment operator. After performing the arithmetic operation on pointer I am printing the address which is pointing by pointers.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
    char *pcData = NULL; //pointer to character
    float *pfData = NULL; // pointer to float
    printf(" Address of character pointer before incrementation = %d\n\n\n", pcData);
    printf(" Address of float pointer before incrementation = %d\n\n\n", pfData);
    pcData++;  //Increment the character pointer by one
    pfData++; //Increment the float pointer by one
    printf(" Address of character pointer After incrementation = %d\n\n\n", pcData);
    printf(" Address of float pointer After incrementation = %d\n\n\n", pfData);
    return 0;
}

Output:

Address of character pointer before incrementation = 0

Address of float pointer before incrementation = 0

Address of character pointer After incrementation = 1

Address of float pointer After incrementation = 4
