float to int unexpected behaviour

Question

can you please explain the o/p behavior of this program.

int main()
{
  float a = 12.5;
  printf(\"%d\\n\", a);
  printf(\"%d\\n\", *(int *)&a);
  return         


        

Answer 1

I think it prints 12 12 because of %d there is no difference and *&a = a
