C pointer to array/array of pointers disambiguation

by 
int* arr[8]; // An array of int pointers.
int (*arr)[8]; // A pointer to an array of integers

The third one is same as the first.

The general rule is operator precedence. It can get even much more complex as function pointers come into the picture.
