personally the issue i take with this article is that it displays an opinion that is counterproductive to learning (imo).

rather than calling out that pointer arithmetic implicitly relies on 'sizeof' in order to be useful, its treated like some kind of magic. i.e. i don't think it points out the not subtle but rather obvious connection, and instead distracts from it...

Article:

>arr has the type int , where as &arr has the type int ()[size].

For me this is calling out the implicit use of sizeof by pointing out the type.
