    Concentrate on these two lines:
    Code:
    printf("%c",*ptr++);
    printf("%c",*(++ptr));
    In particular, recall how post-increment and pre-increment works.

    Ignore these two lines as they result in undefined behaviour since they modify what ptr points to, which is the contents of a string literal:
    Code:
    printf("%c".(*ptr)++);
    printf("%c",++*ptr);

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
