Can you add pointers together? Why would you?

No, you can’t add pointers together. If you live at 1332 Lakeview Drive, and your neighbor lives at 1364 Lakeview, what’s 1332+1364? It’s a number, but it doesn’t mean anything. If you try to perform this type of calculation with pointers in a C program, your compiler will complain. The only time the addition of pointers might come up is if you try to add a pointer and the difference of two pointers.
