That should print a 3. It's really the same as
printf("%d", 3-0);
...since:
ptr[3] is the 4th element in the ptr[] array.
&ptr[3] is a pointer to the 4th element in the ptr[] array.
&ptr[0] is similarly a pointer to the first element in ptr[].
&ptr[3] - &ptr[0] is a subtraction of two pointers. That's only defined (in standard C/C++) for pointers to elements in the same array, like in this case, and it's defined as the difference between the index values. That's where the 3-0 comes from.
The result of a pointer difference is an int. &ptr[0] - &ptr[3] results in 0-3 which is -3.
