    Thanks When you can do the same thing in several ways something is not right :)

    I can only imagine the following program will blow your mind:

    #include int main()
    {
    int a[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
    int i1 = a[2];
    int i2 = 2[a];

    printf("i1 = %d  i2 = %d\\n", i1, i2);
    
    return 0;
    

    }

    Keep Calm and Carry On

      I would also pass the size of the array to the function instead of hard-coding it at 10:

      int Function(int* arrayargument, size_t size)

      I was trying to keep the example as simple as possible. But since we`re here, what`s size_t? It`s the second time I see someone using it, is it an actual variable or just a custom?

        size_t is just a type. Like int, long, and so on

          Thanks Victor you mean a built-in type in a c++ compiler? what makes it particular, with float the compiler will let you use the comma, char is a like a tiny int, what makes size_t special?

              oh so it`s a class object from a library not a built in type.
