    Are you saying that the difference between
    char p[] and char *p is that char p[] is really a char array while the first one is a string-literal and not writable?
    Yes. Why not try the small program and see what happens? Depending on the compiler you're using, the code that uses the string-literal will immediately crash on the assignment to p[0].
