#include <stdio.h> int main (void) {char p; char buf [10] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 8}; p = (buf + 1) [5]; printf ("%d", p); return 0;} 
```

```
#include <stdio.h>int main(){    char p;     char buf [10] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 8};     p = (buf + 1) [5];     printf ('P : %d', p);    return 0;}

```
P : 9
```

Because (buf + 1) jump the one index right. show indexing start from value 2.
