printf("%d",argv);
this prints the address of the first argument

printf("%s",*argv);
this prints the first argument myprog

printf("%c",**++argv);
this prints the first character of the first argument

Now if we use an increment operator before all this we get f as the final o/p.

printf( d argv);
this prints the address of the first argument

this prints the first argument myprog

printf( c **++argv);
this prints the first character of the first argument

Now if we use an increment operator before all this we get f as the final o/p.
