Is a the same as &a in scanf in C language ?

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    float rootbeer[10];

    scanf("%f", rootbeer);

    printf("%f\n", *rootbeer);

    return 0;
}

Look at the above code.

It works well.

In my understanding, rootbeer is the same as rootbeer + 0, which is pointer to a floating number.

Now I change rootbeer in scanf to &rootbeer.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    float rootbeer[10];

    scanf("%f", &rootbeer);

    printf("%f\n", *rootbeer);

    return 0;
}

I anticipated an error message because I think &rootbeer is pointer to array of 10 of float.

However, the changed code can also be compiled and works perfectly.

I wonder why.

Is a the same as &a in scanf in C language ?

Here

gcc -std=c11 -Wall -Werror ***.c   should be able to show all errors, including those undefined behaviour that still can be compiled.
