Difference between array name and pointer to the first element in c

As I have learnt,array name acts like a pointer to first element.But:

int c[]={0,1,2};
printf("%d \t %d",c,&c[0]); //Different values,Why?

Also then why *c=0?

Just a guess: you're on a platform with 64-bit pointers and 32-bit int. Your code passes two pointer values to printf, which then interprets these as int values; that might print the two halves of a 64-bit pointer as two separate integers.

You should print pointers with %p, not %d, after casting them to void*.
