What is the real difference between arrays and pointers?..

Answer / pravinash

array is collection of similar datatype. it is a static
memory allocation means we can not increment and decrement
the arry size once we allocated. and we can not increment
the base address, reassign address.

pointer is a dynamic memory allocation. we can allocate the
size as we want, assigning into another variable and base
address incrementation is allowed.

What is the real difference between arrays and pointers?..

Answer / jaroosh

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.

What is the real difference between arrays and pointers?..

Answer / pushpanjali panda

Arrays automatically allocate space, but can't be relocated
or resized. Pointers must be explicitly assigned to point
to allocated space (perhaps using malloc), but can be
reassigned (i.e. pointed at different objects) at will, and
have many other uses besides serving as the base of blocks
of memory.

ARRAYS are allocated at compile time.
POINTERS are alocated at run time.

PRECIOUS ONE. So to reduce memory use pointers.
