[Solved] Please explain the output of this program based on pointers and strings?

Question

Explanation line by line:

Striker=Track;

Sets Striker to point to the memory of Track, so Striker[0] would be equals to Track[0].

Track[1]+=30;

Increases the value of the second index of Track by 30 (Track[1] = 50).

cout<<"Striker >"<<*Striker<<endl;

*Striker is the same as Striker[0], *Stirker+1 is the same as Striker[1] and so on. The output of this line is “Striker > 10” because Striker[0] = Track[0] = 10.

*Striker-=10;

Decreases the value of the first index of Striker by 10 (Striker[0] = 0).

Striker++;

Increases Striker pointer, so now Striker points to Track+1 (Striker[0]=Track[1], Striker[1]=Track[2], …).

cout<<"Next @"<<*Striker<<endl;

Outputs “Next @50” because Striker[0]=Track[1]=50.

Striker+=2;

Increases Striker 2 indexes. Now Striker=Track+3.

cout<<"Last @"<<*Striker<<endl;

Outputs “Last @40” because the value of Striker[0] is equals to the value of Track[3].

cout<<"Reset To"<<Track[0]<<endl;

Outputs “Reset To 0” because Track[0] changed to 0 when Striker[0] decreased (*Striker-=10).
