Answer Posted / anshul
I guess the main difference for which interviewer was looking for it that name of the array is constant pointer and character pointer is not. So, if
char a1[]="string";
char *a2="string";
a2=a1;//Compiles and works perfectly
a1=a2;//Error caught at compile time
This is a famous example and is available in many C books.
