Operators in pointers 
Pointer operators are used to increase the address or decrease the address position.

Example
int *ptr;

If ptr variable points address 2002 then performs
ptr++;
ptr variable address moves to 2004 [increase by two bytes of memory because ptr is int datatype]
Program
	#include
	void main(){
	   //+1 increase the address position by 2 bytes for int variable
	   //-1 decrease the address position by 2 bytes for int variable
	   int *ptr;
	   int i;
	   for (i=0;i<5;i++){
	       printf("Enter the number\n");
	       scanf("%d",ptr++);
	   }
	    for (i=0;i<5;i++){
	       printf("%d\n",*(--ptr));
	   }
	}
Output
