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

It's very similar to

char array[] = {'O', 'n', 'e', ' ', /*etc*/ ' ', 'm', 'u', 's', 'i', 'c', '\0'};

but gives you read-only memory.

For a discussion of the difference between a char[] and a char *, see comp.lang.c FAQ 1.32.
