    Pointer to Array of Structs

    Got a quick question for everyone. Let's say that I have an array of pointers that points to an array of structs. Such as:

    HashNode ** Htable; //where HashNode is a struct
    HashNode * pa;
    pa=Htable;

    Now, to access the second element in this array of HashNodes can I just increment pa using the ++ operator or do I need to use the sizeof(HashNode) to increment this to the next element in the array?

    Thanks for the Help.

    just use ++ as in

    pa++;

    the size of each element is automatically taken into account(that is if your not doing crazy stuff you probably shouldnt be).

    Are you aware that you can also say pa[x][y]...
