An array is an array of anything. A string is a specific kind of an array with a well-known convention to
determine its length.
There are two kinds of programming languages: those in which a string is just an array of characters, and those
in which it?s a special type. In C, a string is just an array of characters (type char), with one wrinkle: a C string
always ends with a NUL character. The ?value? of an array is the same as the address of (or a pointer to) the
first element; so, frequently, a C string and a pointer to char are used to mean the same thing.
An array can be any length. If it?s passed to a function, there?s no way the function can tell how long the array
is supposed to be, unless some convention is used. The convention for strings is NUL termination; the last
character is an ASCII NUL (??) character.

"character array" is called as "string" where as array is used to store collection of any simliar data type.

string is also made up of consecutive location that is array. Without array we can not store any string. We can't define difference between both string and array.
