All the following are equivalent:

This is the *****only***** context in which array and pointer
declaration syntax is sort of interchangeable, and it's the reason
the magnitude of the first dimension doesn't matter - all four
declare "a" to be a pointer to an array of 30 ints.

No - they are still different with all consequences. For example array
declarators (the first three) are not modifiable lvalues, while the last
declarator is.

So it is impossible to use ,,a = sth;''
