C Question

Name: Anonymous 2011-07-19 2:02

Im going to be taking Intro to C in the fall so I have decided to read up on the textbook and learn how to program before the semester starts. I'm having a little problem, here's the trouble maker:
    potr1 = &goodarray[0];

    potr2 = &goodarray;

for some reason potr2 gets assigned the value of the &goodarray[0]instead of the &goodarray itself.. I have verified this by printfing both of them and they come up the same number. Im using DevC++ and Im pretty sure I just need to find a better compiler, but am I doing something wrong?

>>6
The name of an array evaluates to a pointer to the first element of the array, as >>3,4 pointed out.

That's a big no you dumbass. The person that gave the response never said that. You just incorrectly assumed it. For further clarification, please refer to section 5.3 in the second edition of "The C Programming Language" by K & R.
