An array of pointers is an array, where the elements are pointers to some memory location.
for eg-
it would be something like
int* parr[10];
here parr[0],parr[1],etc are pointer variables


A pointer to an array is when a pointer is pointing to the starting address of an array.
eg, let int arr[10] be an array. A pointer that points to arr[0], would be a pointer to an array
