How and Why ?

• While Considering String Length ‘\0′ is Ignored. [i.e str = "\0" has Length = 0 ]
• Printf Returns Integer Value [ Number of Characters Printed On Screen ]
• String Length is Zero , So ’0′ is printed on Screen.
• As Only 1 Character is Printed on Screen so Printf Returns 1.
• if(1) is True Condition and If Part is Executed
