Why no dereference operator in char string?
===

Let's say i have 2 functions:

    void function1(int *ptr) {
         printf("%d", *ptr);
    }

and

    void function2(char *str) {
         printf("%s", str);
    }

Why does function2 work, when there is no deference operator before str? In str there is only the **adress** where it points to not the **value** as i thought.
