main() { char *p = “ayqm”; printf(“%c”,++*(p++)); }..

Answer / nithin

p has address of letter a. p++ means it will have address of
y. *p reffers to the character y. so pre-incrementing that
will result in letter z being printed.

Answer / kishor amballi

char *p = "ayqm";

this line points to a string which is in read only data segment.

the printf statement p++ will be pointing to y.
It dumps core when trying to assign z at that location because the memory pointed to string ayqm is READ ONLY.

Answer / mayank srivastava

printf("%c", p );-----> prints address of a, i.e. 1024 (say).
printf("%c", p++);-----> prints address of y, i.e. 1025 (say)
printf("%c", *(p++));-----> prints the char y,
printf("%c", ++*(p++));-----> prints the char z,

so final answer is z.
