in k&r c the following declaration is given to be pointer to array[13] of int

int (*daytab)[13]

on similar lines i initialize a pointer to array[2]of int in my program as follows

int c[2];
int (*d)[2];
d=c;

when compiling this code i get a warning as follows

sizeof.c: In function ‘main’:
sizeof.c:7: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

what is generating this warning and how to get rid of it? also are there any good resources for understanding complicated declarations in c?

d=&c;

To clarify what went wrong:
The name of the array is a pointer to its first element. So both c and d are pointers to the first elements.
The thing is, that you made d a pointer to a pointer (**) thus the assignment d = c; was invalid since it was char** = char*.
So as rocketboy wrote - you need to get the address of the c variable using & to fulfil the type match requirement.

Hope I've explained it clearly ;)
