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?

I want to get back to the following...

char (*q)[10] = &a; // a pointer to the array itself


Something like char (*q)[10] is a pointer to char[10]. In other words, it doesn't point to the array itself. The fact that you keep insisting that this is the array itself makes you that much dumber.
