C++ Program to Access Elements of an Array Using Pointer

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following C++ programming topics:


Example: Access Array Elements Using Pointer

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int data[5];
   cout << "Enter elements: ";

   for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
      cin >> data[i];

   cout << "You entered: ";
   for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
      cout << endl << *(data + i);

   return 0;
}

Output

Enter elements: 1
2
3
5
4
You entered: 1
2
3
5
4

In this program, the five elements are entered by the user and stored in the integer array data.

Then, the data array is accessed using a for loop and each element in the array is printed onto the screen.
