Your compiler will have a standard string library with a header file called <string.h>
If you open it you will see the function prototypes of the standard string library.
Use these functions to manipulate your strings.

it should print "beginner". The string stops normally at the first encountered 0 byte (I mean zerozero, not the character '0').

What compiler do you use, on what platform?

%3s would print up to 3 characters of a strinc only. More complex string manipulations can be achieved with string functions. You should read about printf() format specifiers and string functions.
