> 1. The following function calls supposedly write a single new-line character, but some are incorrect. Identify which calls don't work and explain why.
b. `printf("%c", "\n");` - This is invalid because the double quotes make `\n` a string, but it's being displayed with the `%c`formatting specifier.
c. `printf(%s, '\n');` - This is invalid because it's trying to display a `char` using the string formatting specifier.
e. `printf('\n');` - `printf`'s first argument should be a string, not a `char`.
h. `putchar("\n");` - `putchar`'s first argument should be a `char`, not a string.
i. `puts('\n');` - `puts`'s first argument should be a string, not a `char`.
j. `puts("\n");` - `puts` will write a newline after writing a string, so this will write two newlines.
> 2. Suppose that `p` has been declared as follows:
```c
char *p = "abc";
```
> Which of the following function calls are legal? Show the output produced by each legal call, and explain why all the others are illegal.
```c
// A - Not legal, because putchar accepts a `char`, not a pointer.
putchar(p);
// B - Legal, output: `a`
```
