Declaration of char array

I have seen a program, in the header file declared as below

typedef char CHAR10[10];

and in the program as below

CHAR10  szReading;

Is the above declaration same as 

char szReading[10];

I am pretty much confused with these. Could someone explain what exactly it is?

Yes, you understand it correctly. See this answer for more details.

When you say CHAR10 would be the same as an array of char with fixed length and then say CHAR10 test, then test will certainly be an array of char of the length you want (10 in your example).

Examples of typedef usage 

typedef unsigned int uint;
uint K; // K is an unsigned int

typedef char *SortOfString;
SortOfString test; // test is a pointer to char
