IS VOID POINTER ARITHMETIC A VALID ONE? WHY?

Arithmetic operation on void pointer is not valid one. Void pointer is a generic pointer. It is not referring int, char or any other data type specifically. So, we need to cast void pointer to specific type before applying arithmetic operations.

Note:

• Pointer arithmetic itself is not valid one. Pointer addition, multiplication and division are not allowed as these are not making any sense in pointer arithmetic.
• But, two pointers can be subtracted to know how many elements are available between these two pointers.
