Sorry, I don't understand your question. *%.2x *is only a precision specifier still. (%.2x was used for neat formatting only, because you are printing the values only 1 Byte long and a Byte can occupy at max 2digits in hex)
>>>>hex representated by 4 bits. Yes hex is represented by 4 bits i.e. 1 Byte and that's what you are reading with a char pointer*, 1 Byte each time and printing the values in those Bytes. >>>>total we have to represent 32 bits and 8 bits in each....plz xplain Each output represents 32bits only. 1 Byte each (in total 4Bytes) It's showing you the memory layout. You stored *i = 1; *and when probed it using a char pointer. you found following four bytes written: *01 00 00 00* It shows that on your machine: 1. int is 4bytes long. (4x1Byte) 2. First byte stores the least significant value, hence you are working on a Little endian machine. similarly, for pointer: char pointer reads 1 Byte at a time. It read 4Bytes in total i.e. 32 bits. Hence, you are working on a 32 bit machine. (as pointer has value: *44 ff 28 00, *address of i)*.* * * * * PS: This is an algorithm group, please refrain from asking such language specific questions.
