Array addition and subtraction

Explanation:  From the Statement p + p[5] – p[13], p points to address of array a . And p[5] contains/holds character ‘e’ and p[13] holds character ‘b’. So the final statement will be p + ’e’ – ‘b’ ==> p + 101 – 98 (here 'e' equals to decimal 101 & 'b' equals to Decimal 98) ==> p+3 ==> will give the address location of a[3]. So it will start printing the string from a[3].
