char a='12 Arpril 27';

Why char a='12 Arpril 27'; printf("%c",a); printing 7 not 1?

Like ~ swim ~ said, it's the same as would happen if you assigned 1814049335 to a char. Try it, it prints 7. It just doesn't fit and it ignores most of it, except the right most 8 bits, which represents the last character.

I know pointers and character in C. It was just an output question in some CS book. So I got confused.

~ swim ~ no matter what I am taking it is printing last value. Like if instead of '12 april 27' it is '15 April 98' this is printing 8.
