// Access Array Elements by Incrementing Pointer
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    // Step 1: Declare and initialize an array
    int scores[] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
    int size = sizeof(scores) / sizeof(scores[0]);

    // Step 2: Declare a pointer and point it to the first element of the array
    int *p = scores;

    // Step 3: Iterate and access elements by incrementing the pointer
    printf("Accessing elements by incrementing the pointer:\n");
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        printf("Element %d: %d\n", i, *p); // Access current element
        p++; // Move pointer to the next element
    }

    // Note: 'p' now points one past the end of the array.
    // To re-access from start, you'd need to re-initialize p = scores;

    return 0;
