INTERVIEW QUESTIONS C OPERATORS IN C DETAILS

Question: Can math operations be performed on a void pointer?

Answer: No. Pointer addition and subtraction are based on advancing the pointer by a number of elements. By definition, if you have a void pointer, you don’t know what it’s pointing to, so you don’t know the size of what it’s pointing to. If you want pointer arithmetic to work on raw addresses, use character pointers.

Hi...
Yes....Math operations can be performed on void pointers..
But you must do type casting for that purpose...
The syntax is:
op (data_type *)ptr_name;
In above syntax op is the unary opetator...
