p is pointer to function whose parameter is void and return type is

also void. r and q is pointer to function whose parameter is void and
return type is int . So they can hold the address of such function.

Memory representation

Here 6024, 8085, 9091 is any arbitrary address, it may be different.

Value of k is content of k in memory which is 8085
Value of *k means content of memory location which address k keeps.
k keeps address 8085 .
Content of at memory location 8085 is 6024
In the same way **k will equal to 3.
Short cut way to calculate:
Rule: * and & always cancel to each other
i.e. *&a = a
So *k = *(&j) since k = &j
*&j = j = 6024
And
**k = **(&j) = *(*&j) = *j = *(&i) = *&i = i = 3

Far address of p and q are representing same physical address.

0x55555

Physical address of 0x53332225 = (0x5333 * 0x10) + (0x2225) = 0x55555

*p = 80, means content at memory location 0x55555 is assigning value
25
(*p)++ means increase the content by one at memory location 0x5555 so
now content at memory location 0x55555 is 81
*q also means content at memory location 0x55555 which is 26

Here we are performing relational operation between two huge

addresses. So first of all both a and b will normalize as:
a= (0x5999)* (0x10) + (0x0005) =0x9990+0x0005=0x9995
b= (0x5998)* (0x10) + (0x0015) =0x9980+0x0015=0x9995
Here both huge addresses are representing same physical address. So
a==b is true.

According to Q13, the explanation is wrong. First of all, the answer in this question depends on how this 2 variables are
allocated on stack, I mean if they're two consecutive values or they're apart from each other in memory. For example on
my Visual C++ in such a declaration:
int a = 5, b = 10;
Difference between addresses of a and b is 12 bytes, so if they're 4 bytes ints the difference is &a - &b = 3.
Difference between two pointers of same type isn't always 1 !!!!!! It depends on they relative location in memory !!!!!!

Difference of two pointers of same type is 1 and not the size of their data types. Try this code on codepad.org
which uses linux gcc compiler.
Also, the difference between two pointers of same type is not always 1 as mentioned. Try this code
#include
#include
int main(){
int a = 5,b = 10,c = 100, d = -9;
int *p = &a,*q = &d;
c = p - q;
printf("%d" , c);
return 0;
}
