C programming: '&' with arrays in scanf [duplicate]

Answer 1

array and &array are not the same... even if they have same address location in it.

array here being char array, it points to a single char, and if you increment it increases by 1 char size.

but &array points to the entire array and if increments it increases by the array size.

scanf function expects for the array.. not &array

Answer 2

array and &array both yield a pointer to the same address, but with different types. The former is equivalent in most situations to &array[0], a char * in your case. &array, however, is the address of the array itself, which has type char (*)[10] in your example.
