What it the output of this code and why?

Question

char* a = "test";
cout << *(a+5);

Answer 1

It should throw an error, for three reasons:

1. You defined it as a char, and then made it a string.

2. You can't add a string and an integer

3. You make the pointer point to (a+5) where it should just be a

So, I'm not sure that it'll work at it's current state.

Answer 2

i saw this on an challenge :/
