Memory address of the first element
permalink
I was solving a quiz and this is a question:

Which of the following gives the memory address of the first element in array foo, an array with 100 elements?

A. foo[0];
B. foo;
C. &foo;
D. foo[1];

Both foo and &foo gives the same result. Which one is true?

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by the memory address, but '0' is always the first element in an array of any size

Just plain foo.

The first element of the array is foo[0]. Indexing is, in pointer arithmetic:
foo[n] := *(foo+n)

So therefore the memory address of the first element is &(*(foo+0)) or foo.
