C Programming - Pointers - Discussion

ch=74 which is the ASCII value of J
j=65 which is the ASCII value of A
vp a void pointer contains the address of ch so it can be type casted to any type of pointer.
printf("%c", *(char*)vp);
(char*)vp type castes void type vp to char type and prints the value pointed by vp which is J.
vp=&j;
printf("%c", *(int*)vp);
Now vp contains the address of j.
*(int*)vp it type castes void type pointer vp to int type and prints the value pointed by vp which is A
vp=cp;
printf("%s", (char*)vp+2);
Now vp contains the value of cp. pointer vp is incremented by 2.so now it points to the letter C of JACK and prints the string CK.

So finally JACK is printed.

Hey really very accurate answer.

Really fantastic explanation by nilesh good job.

Thanks nilesh.

Hello friends!

Will anyone explain the meaning of

printf ("%c", * (int*) vp) ;

As I am new in this field, will anyone took mercy on me and explain it ?

Really fantastic explanation by nilesh

Thanks nilesh.

Thanks Nilesh. Well explained.

Thanks nilesh bro.

Hi satya.

This mens, the pronunciation of pointer alwys strt from right to left, so firstly we typecast the vp because vp is othr datatype of pointer nd we want to intgr pointer so we use typecasting nd aftr tht we solve *vp (mens value at vp or value at adress stored in vp).
