35.
What will be the output of the following program in 16 bit platform assuming that 1022 is memory address of the string "Hello1" (in Turbo C under DOS) ?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("%u %s\n", &"Hello1", &"Hello2");
    return 0;
}
1022 Hello2
Hello1 1022
Hello1 Hello2
1022 1022
Error
Answer: Option
Explanation:

In printf("%u %s\n", &"Hello", &"Hello");.

The %u format specifier tells the compiler to print the memory address of the "Hello1".

The %s format specifier tells the compiler to print the string "Hello2".

Hence the output of the program is "1022 Hello2".

This depends on string format whether "%d" or "%s" or "%u".

Does "Hello2" and &"hello2" give the same result? could somebody help me. Please.

&"Hello2" should print the address, anyone?

I think for the above program, the output is some "address value" since format specifier "%u" is used in the printf statements.

void main() {
char str[]="hello";
clrscr();
printf("str= %u",str);
printf("\nstr= %u","hello");
getch();
}
Output-
str=65520
str=193
I am not able to understand the output

Does formal parameter has an address ?

If no then the question is irrelevant.
