What kind of object is returned by
"My name is Dwe"? A pointer. Now learn about pointer arithmetic.
Actually I am basic learning c programming . I just started . But as we see in c++ programming cout prints string in " " field . But is giving output >> me is Dwe . Why it is so :( . plz help
No, cout does not print everything in the " " field. cout doesn't know what a " " field is. In your code, you are NOT passing the " " field to cout. You are passing a pointer.
This:
You currently do not understand what a pointer is, so telling you that 5+ a pointer gives another pointer that points to a poisition in memory (5*size of object being pointed at) isn't going to be much use to you.

5+"My name is Dwe" gives a char pointer. The char pointer is gives does NOT point at the 'M'.You currently do not understand what a pointer is, so telling you that 5+ a pointer gives another pointer that points to a poisition in memory (5*size of object being pointed at) isn't going to be much use to you.

Basically you're pointing to a position where "my name is dwe" is stored but by using +5 you're pointing 5 memory slots after this, which is why it starts 5characters into your message
I hope that's a much simpler way of explaining this, for now of you're only just starting c then don't worry about pointers, just think of it outputting "text" or variables
