What is the output of given code? Please explain too.

Question

char* p="thisQuiz";
p+=2;
char c=1 + *p;
cout<<c;

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
// Declare char pointer that points to a
// string literal containing "thisQuiz"
char* p="thisQuiz";

// Move the pointer offset two bytes forward,
// Output: "isQuiz" if you go cout << p;
// Output: 'i' if you go cout << *p;
p+=2;

// Declare a char whose value would be the
// character pointed by *p, added by one.
// At this point *p points to 'i', so by
// adding 1 to 'i' will result in 'j'
char c=1 + *p;

// Output the value of char variable c.
// Output: 'j'
cout << c;

return 0;
}

@dw0x,
Duplicate question = Not Ok
Similar answer = Ok

Still, I think if one gives related/relevant, or good answer, there's no problem at all mate. Sometimes similar answers look different in the OP perspective, one maybe easier to understand than the others : )
