DevC++ array issue

Question

Why right value and left value in array are the same?

Refer to the code: why &a and a have the same value?

CODE:

int main()
{
    int a[4];
    *a = 3;
    printf("&array: %p    array: %p   array[0]: %d", &a, a, *a);
    return 0;
}

OUTPUT:

&array: 000000000023FE50 array: 000000000023FE50 array[0]: 3

Here, &a and a gives the same output because, in C, array name behaves (or better, gets evaluated to) as the address of the first element of the array.
