Answer 7

Because the first parameter of printf is a format specifier which replaces the formats "%s" in this case with the 2nd and so on parameters. ( even if you don't provide one, so be careful there )

The 2nd parameter and so on don't have this behaviour.

Answer 8

Your character array is not big enough to include the null character so anything can happen when it tries to print it.
