broli,
C does not hide memory pointer information.
"asdf" is a "string literal."
when initializing a char*, "asdf" is seen by the program as a pointer to that location in memory.
The same is not true for other basic types.
int *Bogus = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}; - does not work
int Correct[5] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}; does work
malloc() allocates memory on a global heap, and requires a type cast.
using [] allocates memory locally, and the size of this chunk is limited, so don't use brackets for really big arrays.
Two operators will come in handy all the time... "*" and "&"

If one wants to get a start address of a array or a string or a block of memory via a function, there are at least two methods to achieve it:
(1) one is to pass a pointer-to-pointer parameter, like:

{
*pmem=(char *)malloc(size);
if(*pmem==NULL)... (11 Replies)
