pointers to arrays

[breaka]

hi, one of the basics i still got problems with is the use of pointers to arrays.

void function (int *p){
  
   int i;

   for(i=0; i<10;i++,p++)
      *p=i;                           //fills array with numbers 0 to 9

}

int main (void){
   
   int array[10];

   function (&array[0]);      //adress of first element in array

return 0;
}

is this a good way to use a pointer to an array?

now, you can also create a pointer to array by defining a doing something like:

void function (int *tab[]){
  
      ....

   }

int main (void){
   
   int *array[10];

   function (array);      //adress of first element in array

return 0;
}

whats the difference, whats better and most of all how do i use last this pointer to fill my array?

Well... I would pass the size of the array to the function, as well. That way you can use it for arrays with size other than 10.

Hmm, you changed your code on me. The second one really just adds another level of indirection. Just understand that *array[10] is an array of pointers. I think you're looking for a pointer to an array (*array)[10]
