Is there any difference in this definition?

fangtao826

int x = 1; int y = 2; int z = 3;
int * a [10] = {&x,&y,&z}; // The pointer array stores the pointer

int (* a) [10] = {&x,&y,&z}; // This definition fails to compile

superandy

int aaa [10];
int (* a) [10] =&aaa;

Not the same, the first a is an array of pointers and the second a is a pointer to an array.

goodjianli

int * a [10] = {&x,&y,&z};
a is a data name containing 10 data, each data type is int *

int (* a) [10] = {&x,&y,&z};
a is a pointer to an int array of length 10

Means not the address of a pointer constant stored by a
