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?

&a points to the first object in the array named 'a'.

&a doesn't point to the array itself.

And what really bears no relation to the discussion at hand is the fact that expressions with array type are unmodifiable lvalues, BTW

Yes it does because you I'm not convinced that you know the difference between an *array* and the *array element* in C.
