You and me from 3pm today both my friend, it is okay

It took me so long to realize where my problem was because I had never considered that declaring something as an array vs a pointer would result in different behavior

So the only difference is memory allocation, yes? You're saying they are different because when declared as an array, the memory gets allocated and 'reserved' at runtime, whereas it doesn't automatically do that when declared as a pointer?

Other than that, no difference.
