Question

could you tell my why the value of a referenced
array and the value of the array itself has the same value?

i know a is a type of int* but with &a it should be int** or am i wrong??
so the value should be a pointer to the a int pointer.
example code:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()
    {
        int a[10];
        printf("a without ref.: 0x%x\n",a);
        printf("a with    ref.: 0x%x\n",&a);
        return 0;
    }

Answer 1

Name of the array decays to an pointer to its first element in this case.
