Difference between const int* ptr[] and const int (*ptr)[]

Question

Is there any difference between

const int* ptr[5];

and

const int (*ptr)[5];

?

I am trying to point to a const 5*5 2D int array, but I am not sure of the best way to do it

Answer 1

const int* ptr[5];

This is an array of five elements, each element is a pointer to const int .

---

const int (*ptr)[5];

This is a pointer to an array of five elements, each element is a const int .
