Are They Same 1(I has an another post too)?

Question

I am confused at this point.
When I try to do that:
char string1[5][50];
char *const ptr[5]=string1;
//My compiler gives an error. I can't remember.
But when I look the internet, I saw that they points to a 2d char array with this:
char string1 [5][50];
char (*const ptr)[50]=string1.
//There is no error. In the first condition,What I thought is that I have a pointer that points to five string and each string has 50 characters.
But in the last condition, they points to a array with (look the next post)...

Answer 1

This is my limited understanding of the issue.

char *const ptr[50];

declares a constant array of size 50 which stores character pointers.

char (*const ptr)[50];

declares a constant character pointer which points to a character array of size 50.
