Pointer arithmetic

[_arjun]

Hi,

I was reading c modern approach, in 11th chapter's Q&A I read that C pointers can store address in diffrent formats depending upon the way in which particular computer's memory is divided.My question is that suppose some computer has word division instead of byte division in memory then how will the pointer arithmetic will behave, will there be any changes ?

Thanks

You should reasonably expect that the variable types char, int, long int, etc. will be adjusted in the compiler for that machine/operating system.

The only time this should be a real concern is in communciation between machines of different types...Endianness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
