Is there a question somewhere ? Or do you just like to post code?

For future, please don't ask your question in the code. Ask in the text area. It took me three times longer to decypher your question...

The reason is that it's is simpler for the system allocate the variables on 4-byte boundaries. So if you have a char* array of 6 bytes, you'll see an 8-byte difference.

>>printf("%p", letter);
This produces undefined behavior. "%p" expects the parameter to be a pointer to some object, but you are passing the value of a character.

Garbage in, garbage out.
