"Ya!Hello! how is this? %s\n" is essentially a character array 3["Ya!Hello! how is this? %s\n"] yields H. &3["Ya!Hello! how is this? %s\n"] yields address of character array beginning with H i.e address of array "Hello! how is this? %s\n" which forms the format string in printf.
Thus Hello! how is this gets printed and then printf looks for a string in its arguments. &b["junk/super"] yields super...which gets printed due to %s in format string. Similar arguments apply to second case On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 11:45 PM, shashankreddy509 < shashankreddy...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can any one explain the output of this... > > i have a guess. > > int a=3, b = 5; printf(&a["Ya!Hello! how is this? %s\n"], > &b["junk/super"]); > > here a is 3 so it print the after 3 characters ie."*Hello! how is this?* > ". > and coming to b is 5 so it prints "*super*". > > this is my guess and i cant get the other part this. > > so can any one tell the correct answer.. > > thanks. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Algorithm Geeks" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/algogeeks/-/clNhSWJBaEJEZllK. > > To post to this group, send email to algogeeks@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > algogeeks+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/algogeeks?hl=en. > -- Regards Pritpal Singh Banga (RIT2008021) BTech ( IT ) , 6th Semester, Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad - 211012, India Official email : rit2008...@iiita.ac.in <rit2008...@iiita.ac.in> Mobile: +91-9793907703 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
