Format parameter for string working even without using memory address (codes below)

Question

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
   char string[10];
   strcpy(string, "sample");
   printf("[string] %s Address %08\n", string, string);
   // Works even without using &string for %s
}
This code gives result even without using unary operator(&) for char array string in printf . I tried with &string in printf and it works all the same. please explain.

Answer 1

A string variable name is a pointer for the first character. Why even use '&'? And no obviously not. Just give it a try and you'll see!

Answer 2

Yeah cause a strings variable name is a memory address to the first character.

Answer 3

Thank you

Answer 4

so using '&variable' and 'variable' is technical same if the variable is a string ??
is it same for other types of variables or is it an exception ?
