Printing of character variable

#1

I am trying to print address of a particular character variable , but the output is not satisfying.
int main()
{
char ch[]=“Abhishek”;
char c=‘A’;
char s=‘B’;
cout<<&s<<endl; // BAAbhishek is output
cout<<&c<<endl; // AAbhishek is output
cout<<&ch<<endl; // 0x6ffe00 is output
cout<<ch<<endl;
char *p = ch;
p+=4;
cout<<p<<endl;

}

In my view , the outputs in these cases should be

  1. B
  2. A
  3. Abhishek
    respectively
#2

Since ch is an array, the string “Abhishek” will not be printed and the base address of the character array will be printed. The above cases are only for a single character…not for array.

Ok thanks.
Can you pls tell for the above two cases why BAAbhishek and AAbhishek are printed
