    <p>I am learning pointers in C, so I did this to check out the output I should hope when I do something. Here it is:</p> <pre><code>int characters(char temp[]) { printf("\nAddress of string by &amp;temp: %p",&amp;temp); printf("\nAddress of string by temp: %p",temp); printf("\nContent of string: %s",temp); return 0; } int main() { char s[] = "Prafulla Shahi"; char *t=s; clrscr(); characters(t); printf("\nMain\nAddress of string by &amp;s: %p",&amp;s); printf("\nAddress of string by s: %p",s); printf("\nContent of string: %s",s); printf("\nAddress of pointer by &amp;t: %p",&amp;t); printf("\nAddress of pointer by t: %p",t); printf("\nContent of pointer: %s",t); getch(); return(0); } </code></pre> <p>The output I get is this:</p> <pre><code>Address of string by &amp;temp: 0x7fff4ab45788 Address of string by temp: 0x7fff4ab457b0 Content of string: Prafulla Shahi Main Address of string by &amp;s: 0x7fff4ab457b0 Address of string by s: 0x7fff4ab457b0 Content of string: Prafulla Shahi Address of pointer by &amp;t: 0x7fff4ab457a8 Address of pointer by t: 0x7fff4ab457b0 Content of pointer: Prafulla Shahi </code></pre> <p>My question is: Whys is the address for the temp array show two different values when asked by &amp;temp and temp?</p> <p>My understanding is, temp is an array variable, but it has its own address (similar behavior to the pointer t. Why does it not behave like the usual variable array s?). The array s[] in main() is an array too, but its address when called by &amp;s and s shows the same value.</p> <p>Can anyone please explain this?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
