Can you help me to solve this in C ?

Given the following statements: char *name[] = {”Ali”,”Ani”,”Tono”}; char name[][10] = {”Ali”,”Ani”,”Tono”}; Compare and contrast the two name identifiers above !

Not a C expert here, but going to try to help you out. First, they aren't the same array char *name[] is the same as char name[][] But more importantely, the main difference is that char *name[] is going to allocate an array of pointer So during runtime you will be able to do char *name[] = {"Alice", "Bar"}; char *foo = "TEST"; name[1] = foo; and this char name[][10]= {"Alice", "Baz"}; char foo[] = "TEST2"; name[1] = foo; but you should never do name[1][1] = 'u'; if you're using pointers but you can do it if you're using arrays. Thisis a great SO post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1704407/what-is-the-difference-between-char-s-and-char-s Hope I didn't say mistakes and hope I help you.
