What will be the output of the program assuming that the array begins at location 1002?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a[2][3][4] = { {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 1, 2},
{2, 1, 4, 7, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 0, 0, 0} };
printf("%u, %u, %u, %d\n", a, *a, **a, ***a);
return 0;
}

Is this problem also have any link with format specifier or its jst with dimension of array?

I just tried executing this pgm for gnu compiler, it does not depend on the format specifier.
printf("%u, %u, %d, %d\n", a, *a, **a, ***a);
Also gives the same output.
printf("%u, %u, %d, %d\n", a, *a, **a, ***a);
Also gives the same output.

Starting address of each array is 1002 in printf the format specifier is a %U thats why it print address of that array.

*a means value, right. So *a=1 have to print. But why here *a=1002 is printed? any one explain me clear.

a[i][j][k] is nothing but *(*(*(a+i)+j)+k).
Where 'a' is the base address of the 3D array.
Where 'a' is the base address of the 3D array.

*a actually returns the value but how come it returns address? Can anyone explain?

(*(*(*a+i)+j)+k)
*a=a+0
**a=(*(*a+0)+0)
***a=*(*(*(a+0)+0)+0)
So we are not moving the pointer anywhere.
*a=a+0
**a=(*(*a+0)+0)
***a=*(*(*(a+0)+0)+0)
So we are not moving the pointer anywhere.
