Question 3

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  int i = 11;
  int *ptr1 = &i;
  int **ptr2 = &ptr1; 
  int ***ptr3 = &ptr2;

printf("%p, %p, %p, %p
", ptr1, ptr2, ptr3, &ptr3);

return 0;
}
If the program output is (where _ is part of the address that is not shown):
0x_0b4, 0x_0b8, 0x_0c0, 0x_0c8

At address 0x_0b4 is stored [blank_start]11[blank_end] .
At address 0x_0c8 is stored [blank_start]0x_0c0[blank_end] .
