@Shwetha.
As we have assigned pointers corresponding to s and t, while doing ps=pt, it simply copies the whole string s into t.
So you are getting output as "IndiaBix".
We can't do this with array as we can't write s=t.

In my point of view, While applying operator precedence. It doesn't assign the first letter of the string 'I' to t; Can anyone clarify my doubt?
