Character Address

[CPLUSPLUS]

Dear All,

In my program I need to store a character and also display its address. The program is like this

char a='C';
cout<<a<<'\n';
cout<<&a;

I am expecting program to display value of a as character 'C' and in the next line to display its memory address. But it displays value 'C' on both the occassions.

Can some one explain me why this is so?

With regards,

In c++ u have to typecast the pointer to (void*) and print it.
like this

cout<<(void*)&a<<"\n";
