       int   length;                                                
       char  *cptr = name;                                          
       name  = "DELHI";                               
       printf (“%s\n”, name);

           printf("%c is stored at address %u\n", *cptr, cptr);     
           cptr++;                                                  
       }                                                            
       length = cptr - name;                                        
       printf("\nLength of the string = %d\n", length);             
   }                                                              
                                                                    
Output                                                           
                                           
   DELHI                         
   D is stored at address 54                                        
   E is stored at address 55                                        
   L is stored at address 56                                        
   H is stored at address 57                                       
   I is stored at address 58
