I have heard the the name of a char array is a char pointer, is it?

Answer 1

The name of an array decays to an pointer to its first element sometimes.
An expression with array type will convert to a pointer anytime an array type is not legal, but a pointer type is.

You cannot do:

arr++;

Because array is an non modifiable l-value.
