Discussion Forum : Strings - Find Output of Program (Q.No. 35)
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;
}
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".

What are the difference between printf("%s",&"hello2"); and printf("%s","hello2")?

@Ashu.
void main() {
char str[]="hello";
clrscr();
printf("str= %u",str);
printf("\nstr= %u","hello");
getch();
}
Output-
str=65520
str=193
String itself is pointer to its first character. So where ever we are writing string will have different address.
void main() {
char str[]="hello";
clrscr();
printf("str= %u",str);
printf("\nstr= %u","hello");
getch();
}
Output-
str=65520
str=193

We can not use symbol & in printf but how to use?

In printf(&"Hello2") statement.
It will print Hello2 only because the printf() accepts the char * in its parameter list where the printf() is defined in the system.
So, it is correct.

& is an address operator and we are passing the starting address of hello2 to %s , so it works.

&hello1 gives the address.
&"hello1" gives the values of the string in %u unsigned int.
If you use %s it gives value in a string.
&"hello1" gives the values of the string in %u unsigned int.
If you use %s it gives value in a string.

@Ashu:
char str[]="hello" stored in stack segment as it is a local variable and simply "hello" in printif stored in code/text segment. So both the addresses are different.
