%s used to print a string of characters .

i didn't run this app, but it seems this p[3]-p[1] part removed the First part of the string . are you sure that the output is 2010 or G2011

but i need hw this output came i.e. what operations takes place here on p...whether it performs on p's address or ascii values of "p" or any other...

This code is equivalent to
Code:
p + (69 - 65)


where 69 is the decimal equivalent of 'E' (p[3]) and 65 is the decimal equivalent of 'A' (p[1])

Statement will be: (as written above)
p+(69-65)

For example, if the code is as follows:
printf("%s",p+1);

output will be "ATE2011"

Similarly for
printf("%s",p+2);

output will be "TE 2011"

ASCII values of A(p[1]) and E(p[3]) are 69 and 65 respectively, so it will be "p+(69-65)" and the output will be "2011"

thank u dude...but p contains the address of the string....but how it can store ascii value in p[1] and p[3]...??
