we are basically assigning address value "a" to a char pointer p..(the
reason y char pointer is used u will get to know it at the end)

we know p[b]  means *(p+b)....then &p[b] means &*(p+b) i.e. p+b i.e a+b

we used char pointer to increment it one by one..had we used int pointer..
it wud have incremented it +4*b.....

there is another way of doing it....

*printf("%d\n",printf("%*c%*c",a,"",b,""));
