void what (char *str) {
    if (*str) {
    what (str+6);
    putchar (*str-1);
}
return;
 
void main() {
char *str = “\”YeN! cEnT! pEsO! pEnCe! LeMpIrA! pUls! Ha!!\””;

Here what I got after working on it: it needed some correction, I did. Found out what the output is but still don't know how the output is obtained.

#include<stdio.h>
void what (char *str) {
    if (*str) 
    {
    what(str+6);
    putchar (*str-1); 
    }//if
    return; 
    }//what
 
 
void main() {  // main() was complaining that is should be int but works with both int and void
char *str="\"YeN! cEnT! pEsO! Kr0nEr! pEnCe! LeMpIrA! pUls! Ha!!\"";
what(str);
putchar('\n');
 
getchar();
return;
}//main
 

it's output is: Good Job! (but can't see where the good job ! came from)

Question moved to C / C++ forum.

The good job came from this line
putchar (*str-1);
You are decrementing and printing a character.
Basically if the *str value is H then after decrementing it prints G

Please don't forget to use code tags. Thanks.

sicarie - Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not familiar with code tags. I checked the link you provided but not much info as far how to do it. Thanks alot

Reading through the entirety of that page would have brought you to this:

# Make use of the available formatting tags in the forum Use CODE tags around your code unless you are posting a single line of code in which case it is acceptable to omit them:

The part immediately after tells you how to do it.
