Explain the difference between an Char pointer array and a character array in the C language

1. Pointer array of type char: each element points to a string, which can be changed

char *name[3] = {
  "abc",
  "def",
  "gbk"
  };
for(int i = 0 ; i < strlen(name); i ++) {
   printf("%s\n", *(name+i));
   //printf("%s\n", name[i]);
 }

// To change
name[3] = {
"aaa",
"bbb",
"ccc"
}

2. Character array: the point cannot be changed, but the value inside can be changed

char names[] =  " abc " ;
names[2] =  ' D';
