Hello
i know one can use pointer arithmetic to advance the read/write location in memory allocated by malloc for example...

Now since the sizeof char is 1 byte - it is possible to use a pointer to char when moving 1 byte at a time.

but what about systems that may have different sizeof char (ie != 1 byte)

how would one then be able to move through a memory block by 1 byte only?

With best regards - Leon.
