In a book I am reading they say you can not use pointer notation to declare array. But he then goes and does this
isn't a string a character array?Code:*pointer = "This is a string!";

Yes and no. That creates a string literal, which is unmodifiable. You can change what the pointer points to, but not the contents of that string.
Quzah.

Hi,
Actually a string is char array only. But if you declared it as array then baseaddress cannot be modified but the contents can be modified. But you can make a pointer to point to a string. Here you can change the base address of pointer and can change the content.
