SPOT THE ERROR....!

[anandkrishnan]

Hi,
I have a life changing exam today(its 12.45am here). Now i bumped in a sample question i have collected. It prompts to correct the error but i cant find any... Can you please help me..

int i,p[]={1,2,3,4};
for(i=0;i<4;i++)
{
 cout<<*p;
 p++;
} 

I know that 'p' points to case address of array and can't find any problems with pointer arithmetic... Please help. Thanks for patience...

You can't increment p, either copy it[1] or use i[2]:

why cant you increment p?

An array name isn't the same as a pointer, it isn't an lvalue http://ideone.com/UE5Ujy
