int *p;
int a=2;

printf("%d",&p); //prints the address of p.
printf("%d",*(&p));//prints the address of a.

Logic:
& operator specifies the address of the variable.
* operator specifies the value at the address. ( *(1000) gives the value at the address 1000).
For this program:
assume address of p is 1000 and a is 1002.
&p will print the 1000 in output screen.
*(&p) is equal to *(1000) . This will give the value at address 1000(i.e address of a because p stores the address of a) .so now *(&p) is equal to 1002(address of a).
*( *(&p) ) is equal to *(1002) . so this will give the value at the address 1002. i.e.,2
&a results the address of a.
*(&a) results the value at address .so results the value of a.
