to access data using pointers we use the *.

to access data stored in array we use indexes such as a[0].

It is important when ever anyone asks u

Array elements are always stored in contiguous memory locations.If they increment then they points to next of that array type ..

But when a pointer incremented always points to the immediately next location of its type

Arrays are constant pointer . that is we can not point array variable to another location but we can modifies the content of the array elemnt.
Pointers can be pointed to any address of same type.(Untill it does not declare const explicitly).
