Thread: I don't get the difference :(

Aren't both of the below posted codes analogous

Code:

int getword(char *word, int len){
	int cnt = 0,c;

	for(cnt  = 0; (c=getchar())!= ' ' && c!='\n' && cnt<len; cnt++)
		*word++=c;
	*word='\0';
	return word[0];
}

Code:

int getword(char word[], int len){
	int i=0,c;
	for(i=0; (c=getchar())!=' ' && c!='\n' && i<len; i++)
		word[i] = c;
	word[i] = '\0';
	return word[0];
}
