Arrays, Strings, and Pointer Decay

Explain the memory layout of 1D and 2D arrays and how elements are accessed via row-major indexing.

Distinguish between array names and pointers, explaining when they are equivalent and when they differ (e.g., `sizeof`, address-of operator).

Explain the difference between `char arr[] = "string"` and `char *p = "string"` in terms of memory location and mutability.

Pass 1D and 2D arrays to functions using pointer notation and explain the mechanism of pointer decay.

Manipulate C strings using pointer arithmetic and identify common pitfalls like buffer overflows and missing null terminators.
