Anyone please explain this code :

Question

char *str="12345";
printf("%s",*str);

Output is :Abnormal program termination and some irrelevant message.

Answer 1

Use %s to print the string, second argument should be the pointer to the first character (str)

Use %c to print a certain character from the string, second argument should be a char, obtained by dereferencing from pointer (*s)

Use of inappropriate format specifier can cause problems, take care to choose the right format specifier 👍
