Simple Program for Read, Print and Sum of Integer in an array using pointers in C

Syntax

pointer_variable = &var[position];

pointer_variable++ is increasing Address value based on Data Type
pt++; --> Its location next position of Array

Print and Sum of Integer in an array using pointers in C

/* Simple Program for Reading, Print and Sum of Integer in an array using pointers in C*/
/* Pointer and Array Program, C Pointer Examples */

#include <stdio.h>

#define MAX_SIZE 5

int main() {

  int var[] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
  int i = 0, sum = 0;

  //Pointer Variable Declaration for Integer Data Type 
  int *pt;

  //& takes the address of var , Here now pt == &var, so *pt == var
  pt = &var[0];

  printf("Enter %d Elements : \n", MAX_SIZE);

  while (i < MAX_SIZE) {
    // pt + i is increasing Address value based on Data Type
    scanf("%d", pt + i);
    i++;
  }

  i = 0;

  printf("\nPrint Elements:\n");
  while (i < MAX_SIZE) {
    i++;

    // Calculate sum using pointer
    printf(" %d\t", *pt);
    sum = sum + *pt;

    // pt++ is increasing Address value based on Data Type
    pt++;
  }

  printf("\nSum of Array : %d", sum);

  return 0;
}

Sample Output

Enter 5 Elements :
2
4
6
8
1

Print Elements:
 2       4       6       8       1

Sum of Array : 21
