When int a[3] has been defined, is there any difference between int* b = a and int (*c)[3] = &a

Question

I\'m trying to deepen my understanding on syntax relevant to pointer in C, and I noticed that If I created an array of int first, int(*)[] is a way of giving a poin

Answer 1

So I'm confused what's the difference between pointer b and pointer c in Code below?

Their types. b is of type int *, and c is of type int (*)[3].

The address of the array is the same as the address of the first element in the array, so the memory location they point to will be same here, but as per their types, operations on them, for example pointer arithmetic will produce completely different results.
