why we cant create array of refrences..

Answer / o saienni

You cannot have a pointer to a reference.
In other words

int &* isn't allowed.

using:

int nArray[3];

The variable nArray is infact a pointer to an array or an
int pointer and the [] will find the offset within that
array. So an array of references will be a pointer to a
reference and this is why it's not allowed.

storage of their own , they always refer to the existing
object. Therefore it doesn't make sense to have an array of
reference.
