Print a Range of a char Array without a for Loop

Code:

#include <stdio.h> 

 int main() 

{ 

   char a[1024] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";  

   printf("Characters 0 through 2 of a[]: %.3s\n", a); 

   printf("Characters 10 through 15 of a[]: %.6s\n", &a[10]); return 0; 

}

Prints this:
Characters 0 through 2 of a[]: abc 

Characters 10 through 15 of a[]: klmnop

The "%.Ns" notation in the printf string is "%s" with a precision specifier. It's buried in the geek-speak in the printf(3) man page
