Unclear explanation of incrementing an array vs a pointer about recitations HOT 3 CLOSED

So I still get email notifs for this so I thought I might add.

I always thought this (perhaps to be reworded for inclusion in recitation notes) excerpt from the C standard was helpful in making the distinction between pointers and arrays:

Except when it is the operand of the sizeof
operator or the unary & operator, or is a character
string literal used to initialize an array of
character type [...] an lvalue that has type “array
of type ” is converted to an expression that
has type “pointer to type ” that points to the
initial member of the array object and is not an
lvalue

Basically just saying that arrays are almost always converted to pointers, yet making it clear that "array of type" is distinct from "pointer to type".

Started a revision at #47.

Looks like this was resolved in #47. I'll let someone reopen if that's not the case.
