what is the difference between array of pointers and pointer in array?

[sammy]

array of pointers
As an example we can say
char *argv[];
is an array of pointer to char.

Hope this helps you.

hi there!!

int a=1,b=2,c=3;
int *arr[3];
arr[0]=&a;
arr[1]=&b;
arr[2]=&c;
this forms the array of pointer...ie an array which contains a set of addresses....in this case address of set of intergers............


pointer of array!!
a[]={1,2,3,4};
int *p;//pointer to an array//
p=a;//in this it will contain the base address of a// ie address of a[0];
