I know this...I program in C. What I was objecting to was when someone said 'address of array.' What they had meant to say I think was 'The adress of the array's pointer.' I was just noting that this was confusing. I was confused anyway. The article I was responding to was talking about taking the address of an array. The address of the array a[10] is just a. The address of the first element is also a (for single dimension arrays). The first element is *a. But the address of the array's pointer (what this person wanted to know) should be &a.
