int main()
{
char a[]="shark selva";
printf("%c",a[0]);
printf("%d",&a[1]);
printf("%s",&a[1]);
printf("%c",*(&a[1]));
printf("%c",*a);
printf("%s",&a);
return 0;
}
Output
s
-14
hark selva
h
s
shark selva
Logic:
string array 'a' stores characters like this
space
a[0] | a[1] | a[2] | a[3] | a[4] | a[5] | a[6] | a[7] | a[8] | a[9] | a[10] | a[11] |
s | h | a | r | k | s | e | l | v | a | \0 |
so obviously a[0] prints 's' character .
in case of &a[1] ,it specify the address of a[1].
so printf("%d",&a[1]); prints the address of a[1].
in case of printf("%s",&a[1]) ,it'll print all character starting from address a[1]
i.e., it 'll print "hark selva"(because i give %s format specifier instead of %d).
printf("%c",*(&a[1]));
'*' is known as indirection operator(indirectly specifies
the value in specified address).
so *(&a[1]) specifies the 'h' character.
*a is equal to a[0]
it will print the 's' character.
&a is equal to &a[0].
this will print the "shark selva" string.
