int a[5]={1,2,3,4,5};
int*p=a;
cout<<4[p];
return 0;
can anyone please tell me how it is giving output 5. i know it is 5 because it is the 4th element in the array. but why is 4[p] giving the output!

`4[p]` is equivalent to `p[4]`. Does that help? – Paul Sanders Oct 16 '20 at 18:41

1`p[4]` just means `*(p+4)`, so `4[p]` just means `*(4+p)` – Mooing Duck Oct 16 '20 at 18:54
