An array is not quite like a pointer, though most of the time they can be
used interchangably. For e.g., compare these 2 initialisations:
char *strP;
char strP[10];
The first one produces a pointer to a string. In order to store a string,
you'll need to allocate some *real* storage space to store the string
itself, and then use strP and point to it.
The second one produces an array of 10 bytes, with strP already pointing to
strP[0]. You can directly store a string into strP without needing to
allocate some memory.
Regards,
Gee.
