In scanf we specify address as a second parameter. For if x[], is an array, the variable x points to first Location. First parameter %s, means take word so read chars until space encounters.. For more clarification see this,.. https://code.sololearn.com/cLRi914Y81vC/?ref=app

&x means address of x. Input stored at the address of specified location by &x. Primitive values required to store at corresponding variable addresses so we specify &x but in your program x is char array. In c, if omit [], it points address of 0th location. So while dealing with char Arrays you don't need to put &, it is already pointing to first element of array address... Array means continuous memory locations os same type.

Jayakrishna so just by pointing to the first element of array address..the whole collection of characters can be stored?
