Arrays are simply pointers THAT CANNOT be reassigned, ie,
constant pointers to some memory locations. They do not
"magically preserve" any information about array size or
whatever that some suggest, they are just a type of constant
pointers, nothing more.
For example , the following :
int a[] = {1,23};
a++;
will throw a compiler error, something like : a is not an
Lvalue, which means that you cannot assign or change the
value of a.
