If you meant when we use "[]", there are two reasons : - when we declare an array using those brackets, we declare it as static, meaning its size is known at compile time - when we access an array's values using those brackets, we just want to write less character an be more readable. For this second case, you can either use : arr[i]; *(arr + i); They are the same
