C language quiz

29Oct07

Let’s see how good is your knowledge of the C language: ¿can you tell me what does the following snippet print?

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        char *p = "hello";
        printf("%c\n", 2[p]); /* Attention here! */
        return 0;
    }

I know what the explanation is, if no one is able of telling why this snippets behaves the way it does, I will post the solution here in a week or so

P.S: I can guaranteee that it is a valid C program, and it even compiles passing -Wall and -pedantic to GCC.
