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?

$ cat > proof.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    char a[10] = { 0 };
    char (*p)[10] = &a;

    (*p)[0] = 'x';
    printf("%c\n", a[0]);

    return 0;
}
$ gcc -o proof proof.c && ./proof
x
