Question

What will be the output ?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char *str1 = "xyz";
    char *str2 = "xyz";
    if(str1 == str2)
        printf("equal");
    else
        printf("unequal");
    return 0;
}

Comments

It will be equal, as string "xyz" is stored at some memory location say 1000 as base address.

Then two pointer to characters str1 and str2 points to the same string and contains the address 1000. Hence equal

---

str1 and str2 are string constants which are stored in read only memory so once it is allocated memory again if we try to initialize the same value to another variable new memory will not be created instead it again assigns to the previously allocated memory???

Answer 1

string xyz is store two diffrnt memory location and address  of str1 and str2 is diffrent  so if statement become  false  it must return  unequal
