Pointer => Variable that's value corresponds to a physical address in memory
Array => A set of contiguous elements

A function evaluating a Pointer to an Array has to know when to terminate. The reason '\0' is chosen is because the byte following the last character evaluates to false without any further manipulation of the expression. The manner in which the end of an Array is detected is entirely implementation dependent.
