Hey everyone. I've heard (and have also read in "The C Programming
Language") that pointer arithmetic in place of arrays is, in general,
faster. However, I've also heard that modern compilers automatically
make optimizations that account for this difference.
In everyone's opinion, taking both readability and issues of speed into
account, what is better to use? I'd imagine this would depend on the
situation. Just trying to pick up better coding habits as I learn :)
