I’ve just started learning cpp and I leaned that array name decays into pointer that points to memory address of first element of that array but
when I created a pointer that point to same first index of array both of them print different memory address.

Is an array’s name a pointer in C?
If not, what is the difference between an array’s name and a pointer variable?
