problem with string

[geekocoder]

i am not able to catch the difference between the following two piece of code

char name[20]="john";
printf("%s",name);

and

char name[20]="john";
printf("%s",&name);

why do both give me the same output?If both are same why does the following statement give me garbage value

printf("%s",&name+2);

whereas

printf("%s",name+2);
gives me the expected output...
plz help me in getting a crystal clear picture of this
