printf("%s\n", s + 1); s + 1 means start printing from the second character (having index -> 1). This isn't really removing first character though, just skipping the first character while printing.

You can print string from s[1] to last character s[s.length()-1] by a loop.... if you want to just by printf then use s+1 : printf("%s",s+1);

For removal you could use: memmove(s, s + 1, strlen(s));
