Answer / vipul singh
there is only a single difference between array and pointer,
in c lang array is limited(limited in the sense,define the
size at complie time) while pointer are upto memory location.
array and pointer both point to the initial
address.
if somebody says it is wrong so pls tell me the correct
difference.
