What is the difference between char array and char pointer in C?
286 char* and char[] are different types, but it's not immediately apparent in all cases. This is because arrays decay into pointers, meaning that if an expression of type char[] is provided where one of type char* is expected, the compiler automatically converts the array into a pointer to its first element.

c++ - What is a char*? - Stack Overflow
The char type can only represent a single character. When you have a sequence of characters, they are piled next to each other in memory, and the location of the first character in that sequence is returned (assigned to test). Test is nothing more than a pointer to the memory location of the first character in "testing", saying that the type it points to is a char.

c++ - Difference between char* and char [] - Stack Overflow
char *str = "Test"; is a pointer to the literal (const) string "Test". The main difference between them is that the first is an array and the other one is a pointer. The array owns its contents, which happen to be a copy of "Test", while the pointer simply refers to the contents of the string (which in this case is immutable).

Difference between char* and char** (in C) - Stack Overflow
15 char **x is a pointer to a pointer, which is useful when you want to modify an existing pointer outside of its scope (say, within a function call). This is important because C is pass by copy, so to modify a pointer within another function, you have to pass the address of the pointer and use a pointer to the pointer like so:

What is char ** in C? - Stack Overflow
Technically, the char* is not an array, but a pointer to a char. Similarly, char** is a pointer to a char*. Making it a pointer to a pointer to a char. C and C++ both define arrays behind-the-scenes as pointer types, so yes, this structure, in all likelihood, is array of arrays of char s, or an array of strings.

c++ - char and char* (pointer) - Stack Overflow
For cout << &q - operator << (ostream&, char* p) expects that p points to NULL terminated string - and &q points to memory containing "H" but what is after this character no one knows - so you will get some garbage on screen. Use cout << q to print single character.

Difference between char and char* in c - CS50 Stack Exchange
The difference between char* the pointer and char[] the array is how you interact with them after you create them. If you are just printing the two examples, it will perform exactly the same. They both generate data in memory, {h, e, l, l, o, /0}. The fundamental difference is that in one char* you are assigning it to a pointer, which is a variable. In char[] you are assigning it to an array ...
