vc++ 的指针和数组结合理解的最佳例子

下面的方法先接受用户的输入（不超过80个字符），然后计算输入的字符的长度：

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <Windows.h>


using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::setw;




int main(int argc,_TCHAR* argv[])
{
	const int MAX(80);
	char buffer[MAX];
	char* pbuffer(buffer);

	cout<<endl
		<<"Enter a string of less than "
		<<MAX<<" characters:"
		<<endl;

	cin.getline(buffer,MAX,'\n');

	while(*pbuffer++); //这一行是关键，是精髓！

	cout<<endl
		<<"The string \"" <<buffer
		<<"\" has "<<pbuffer - buffer -1 <<" characters.";
	cout<<endl;

	return 0;
}

输出结果如下：

Enter a string of less than 80 characters:
asdfasdfasdfasdf

The string "asdfasdfasdfasdf" has 16 characters.
