Hi all,

what is %p format specifier indicates in the printf statement?

It's purpose is to print a pointer value in an implementation defined
format. The corresponding argument must be a void * value.

The value of the void * object will be converted to a sequence of
printing characters, in an implementation-defined way.

To be realistic, most implementations use a hexademical string
representation of the value.

It has to be a pointer to void. You can convert an address into
one with a cast:
printf("%p\n", (void *)&var);

Is %u and %p are same?

No. %u is for printing an unsigned int in decimal.
