What is the real difference between arrays and pointers?

Answer Posted / 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.

A banker has a seif with a cipher. Not to forget the cipher, he wants to write it coded as following: each digit to be replaced with the difference of 9 with the current digit. The banker chose a cipher. Decipher it knowing the cipher starts with a digit different than 9. I need to write a program that takes the cipher from the keyboard and prints the new cipher. I thought of the following: Take the input from the keyboard and put it into a string or an array. Go through the object with a for and for each digit other than the first, substract it from 9 and add it to another variable. Print the new variable. Theoretically I thought of it but I don't know much C. Could you give me any kind of hint, whether I am on the right track or not?
