I think it's because characters only occupy one byte each while string characters occupy (I think) 2 bytes each.

codemonkey yes, I know. The question by Deepak Dhan was edited and he should have put an edit comment to avoid this confusion. He originally asked to compare a char array and a string.

What do you expect ? a refers to the address of first character of the char array and same for the other one . two addresses can not be same .
