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.Mon, 06 Apr 2026 23:06:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/6823249/what-is-a-charThe 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.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 05:11:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/13353807/what-is-char-in-cTechnically, 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.Sat, 04 Apr 2026 06:26:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/7564033/difference-between-char-and-charchar *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).Tue, 07 Apr 2026 01:29:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/12877120/char-and-char-pointerFor 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.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 04:07:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/1704407/what-is-the-difference-between-char-s-and-char-schar *s = "hello"; So what is the difference? I want to know what actually happens in terms of storage duration, both at compile and run time.Sat, 04 Apr 2026 12:10:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/1481945/whats-the-difference-between-char-and-char-in-cThe variables with the * are pointers. A 'normal' variable, for example a char or an int, contains the value of that datatype itself - the variable can hold a character, or an integer. A pointer is a special kind of variable; it doesn't hold the value itself, it contains the address of a value in memory. For example, a char * doesn't directly contain a character, but it contains the address of ...Sat, 04 Apr 2026 15:02:00 GMThttps://cs50.stackexchange.com/questions/8899/difference-between-char-and-char-in-cThe 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 ...Mon, 06 Apr 2026 14:45:00 GMThttps://ru.stackoverflow.com/questions/1013878/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F-%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0-%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%B4%D1%83-stdstring-char-%D0%B8-charКакая разница между std::string, char [] и char * [закрыт] Вопрос задан 6 лет 7 месяцев назад Изменён 6 лет 7 месяцев назад Просмотрен 24k разMon, 06 Apr 2026 04:36:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/20347170/char-array-and-char-arraychar *array = "One good thing about music"; declares a pointer array and make it point to a (read-only) array of 27 characters, including the terminating null-character.Mon, 06 Apr 2026 19:17:00 GMT
