Pointer Arithmetic is modifying the address at which a pointer points. The most common example of this is when copying a string to another, without using the C language's library funtion strCopy(), or when writing that funciton for a shared library. Some newer languages prohibit this, as it is a potential source of vile computer bugs. Java is one such language.
