I was solving last years GATE question paper where i am stuck with this question

What does the following fragment of C-program print?

char c[]="GATE2011";
char *p =c;
printf ("%s", p+p[3]-p[1]);

The answer is ‘2011’

I am aware that in c, array variables are pointer to first address of the array. My logical answer was ‘E2011’, but the output is 2011

Can someone explain the pointer mathematics involved in this?

    p[3] = A

    p[1] = E

    E – A = 4

    hence p + 4 = address of 2

    hence it prints 2011
