char *array and char array[]

Question

if I write this

 char *array = \"One good thing about music\";

I actually create an array? I mean it\'s the same like this?

Answer 1

No. Actually it's the "same" as

char array[] = {'O', 'n', 'e', ..... 'i','c','\0');

Every character is a separate element, with an additional \0 character as a string terminator.

I quoted "same", because there are some differences between char * array and char array[]. If you want to read more, take a look at C: differences between char pointer and array
