Answer / chappa

The first increment is incorrect, since it will try to
increment the value of 'R' but will end up giving
Segmentation fault.

Second ptr++ is valid as it will shift the pointer from 'R'
to 'a'. The second print statement would have printed "amco
Systems", the compiler gives Seg fault due to the previous
incorrect increment.
