if you are referring to the array's address then YES it will be a constant.

Yes. An array always decays to a pointer when passed as a parameter to a function.

Do you mean "can array be used where a const pointer is expected"? In that case, yes:

void f(const int* p)
{
    ...
}

int ar[10];
f(ar); // this works, array is essentially a pointer
