array is faster than pointer because accessing array elements
by pointers always faster.there is used one array and more pointer.we know pointer is a "value at address".
so pointers stores only address of variable but arrays are stores similar data types.

Answer / sandeep
when compared pointers work fast ,beacause:
1.array too is pointer
eg:char s[20];
gets(s);
here we are supplying base address.
2.array notation will be inter coverted as pointers
where we can directly use pointers.
