? about char somearray[] and char *somearray[]

Hi,

I have a quick question about arrays, I have an array:

char somearray[]. I understand it keeps a pointer to the first element.

I have also run across :

char *somearray[], what exactly does this mean?? It is a pointer to a pointer to the first element of the array??


Thanks for any clarification anyone can provide!!

>char somearray[]. I understand it keeps a pointer to the first element.
When used in an expression, the name of the array becomes a pointer to the first element, but it's not always a pointer to the first element.

>char *somearray[], what exactly does this mean?? It is a pointer to a pointer to the first element of the array??
[] binds tighter than *, so this is an array of pointers to char. A pointer to an array of char is char (*parray)[]
