title: Questions Dealing with Curly Braces in Array Initializer Lists
body: <p>My question is fairly simple, are using curly braces in array initializer lists necessary?  In school, we were taught to declare and initialize arrays as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>char FullAlphabet[52] = {"A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z"};
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I'm not noticing any difference, when debugging, when declaring and initializing the array without the curly braces:</p>
  
  <pre><code>char FullAlphabet[52] = "A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a difference between these two initializations?  If not, any reason to use one over the other?  Thank you.</p>
