Pointer to Character Variables

#1

char *cptr=“abc”;

The output of cptr is abc.
The output of *cptr is a.
The output of &cptr is some address.

Can you please explain how are these outputs being obtained?

Hello Pooja,
cptr is containing base/starting address of string “abc” i.e address of ‘a’ .
a) now when we print *cptr it means print value at address cptr and because value at address cptr is ‘a’ you will get ‘a’ as output.
b) when we print cptr then we will get abc as output i.e it will print all character before ‘\0’
c) &cptr will print adress of cptr
