Predict the output of below program
#include<stdio.h> int main() { char *ptr = "geeksforgeeks"; printf("%c\n", *&*&*ptr); getchar(); return 0; } |

Output: g
Explanation: The operator * is used for dereferencing and the operator & is used to get the address. These operators cancel effect of each other when used one after another. We can apply them alternatively any no. of times. For example *ptr gives us g, &*ptr gives address of g, *&*ptr again g, &*&*ptr address of g, and finally *&*&*ptr gives âgâ
Now try below
#include<stdio.h> int main() { char *ptr = "geeksforgeeks"; printf("%s\n", *&*&ptr;); getchar(); return 0; } |
