Shouldn't.
tmp is int* so tmp+1 moves the pointer 4 bytes forward. tmp+=sizeof(int) == tmp+=4 this pushes tmp 16 bytes forwards so nothing meaningful but shit is outputing.

Garbage value should be displayed.
for tmp+=1, 20 will be displayed.
so for tmp+=4,garbage value is displayed.
I am just rephrasing zhen's word

You guys are just plain wrong.

every array's name is a pointer to its first element.
incrementing the array by the size of the value in the array increments to its next element.

So the answer will be 20,30,40, GarbageValue
since it increments 4 times

Since a pointer internally also increments according to the type of the variable it is pointing to, so shouldnt the output be - 20 30 40 garbage ?

Plz tell me if i'm wrong

since we are doing tmp+=sizeof(int);
hence if size of int is 2 bytes on a machine then temp will point to value 30 (2 index ahead from oth index) of array and we will get 30 after that it will print garbage as it will be pointing out of array boundaries...

This might even crash because its trying to access invalid memory location.

On all typical machines integer occupies 4 bytes, so this code will definitely print 4 garbage values. Please don't use outdated compilers like Turbo C. Use either VC++ or GCC compilers or their equivalents.
