Hi Pradeep,
Yes, it prints the address of the symbol x.
But there is something more here. &x returns an Unsigned integer, but here
the returned valuewill be treated as Signed integer(%d) and printed.
Remember range of Signed integer is ( -32627...32628 ) and Unsigned integer
is ( 0.....65524 ). I don't remember exact ranges but something around that.
Now, if the return value exceeds 32628 then it starts counting from -32627,
-32626..... and so on.
Example if return value is 65476 printed value is -12.
If you use %u then u will get to know this. Try this statement
printf("%u..........%d", &x, &x);
Rgds,
JayaRamesh
