Difference between a string and an array of characters

Question

How are these declarations different from each other?

String s=\"MY PROFESSION\";
char c[]=\"MY PROFESSION\";

What about the memory allocation

Answer 1

char is a primitive type. String is a class in which actual data is stored internally as a character array

char c[]="MY PROFESSION";

will give compilation error.

Character array is the contiguous storage in memory where characters are stored sequentially.
