Answer 1

a can only take one single char. You initialize it with '\\012' so its value will be '2' (the last of the values you assigned it). %d gives you the numerical (ASCII) value of a char. The ASCII value of '2' is 50

Answer 2

Each character has an ASCII and binary value.

For example

D = 068 or 01000100
E = 069 or 01000101
F = 070 or 01000110
G = 071 or 01000111

Maybe it has something to do with this?
