See more:

i know to see the address of different variables having different datatypes but i see during my practice that address of char type of variable is not shown
tell me why the compiler did not show the address for character type of variable like the others int ,float etc

What I have tried:

i know this method to see the address of any type of variable
char a;
cout<< &a <<endl;

if u know any other method then tell me
Thanks

Solution 1

C++

cout << reinterpret_cast<void *>(&a) << endl;

(the << operator overload for char * argument assumes it is dealing with a C-like string)
