Well *word is a pointer to a char, which can point to any address of a variable of type char. Which basicaly mean that scalar vallue of char * would be set to 1.

So you could do this

Code:

 
char word_str[20] = { "Hello World"};
 
word = word_str

So you are making the word to point to word_str. So now then. What would you expect when I type this

Code:

printf("%s", word);
