How is printf statement interpreted?

Question

How is the following line interpreted by GCC compiler:

printf(\"HELLO\");  

I want to know this because when I am running following program

Answer 1

It advances the input pointer by 5 bytes and hence skips the word "Good".

This is pointer arithmetic in C.

Lets assume base pointer of the string "Good Morning" is p, and 5+p =p+5 and it points to letter M.

Hence the input to printf is the pointer from the letter M.
