ARRAY Pointer C

1. The document discusses various ways of performing operations on arrays and pointers in C including reading arrays in functions, passing arrays to functions by reference using pointers, returning arrays from functions, and accessing 2D arrays through pointers. 2. Key concepts covered include using pointers to reference array elements instead of indexes, passing addresses of arrays/pointers to functions using pointers, declaring static arrays inside functions to avoid scope issues, and creating arrays of pointers to access 2D arrays. 3. Examples demonstrate functions to read arrays, find maximum values, sort arrays, and display arrays using pointers for pass by reference.
