Is there a difference between int *(a[10]) and int *a[10]?
I guess they are the same but, want to get confirmed, as the bracket is confusing me.

No, there isn’t a difference between those two. The reason that they’re the same is because
[]has higher precedence than*, so the brackets are essentially redundant. They’re both a declaration for an array of 10intpointers.There is however a difference between the following:
int *a[10];int (*b)[10];In this case,
ais an array of 10intpointers, andbis a pointer to an array of 10ints.
