main() { char *p; p = "Hello"; printf ("%cn", *&*p); }

Question

Accepted Answer

* is a dereference operator & is a reference operator. They can be applied any number of times provided it is meaningful. Here p points to the first character in the string "Hello". *p dereferences it and so its value is H. Again & references it to an address and * dereferences it to the value H

main() { char p; p = "Hello"; printf ("%cn", &*p); }
