No. An array is a collection of objects of any type, such as doubles, not just characters. You can even have arrays of arrays, or arrays of structs. In C, the size of an array is fixed, but it is possible to write code that will allow you to manually make it variable in size.

Why can't we increment an array like a pointer?
once we initialize the array variable, the pointer points base address only & it's fixed and constant pointer
What is the difference between a fixed size array and a variable size array?
The obvious answer is that one has a constant size while the other does not. More specifically, a fixed-size array is one where the size is known at compile time and does not change at runtime. By contrast, the size of a variable-sized array may or may not be known at compile time but may change at runtime. We often refer to a variable-size array as being a dynamic array, however some people (myself included) incorrectly refer to a fixed-size array as being a static array. The misunderstanding largely comes from the fact that we often refer to the heap (or free store) as being dynamic memory because all dynamic variables are allocated there (including variable-size arrays). But the term dynamic array does not refer to the memory, it refers to the dynamic -- as in changeable -- nature of the array itself. By contrast, a fixed-size array is only deemed static if it is statically allocated, in which case it will be allocated in the program's data segment along with all other static variables, global variables and constants. But a local fixed-size array is allocated on the program's stack and is therefore, by definition, non-static. Moreover, you can allocate a fixed-size array on the heap!
Is the array size is fixed after it is created?
Generally, a array is fixed in size. With some libraries, however, they are extensible, either by reallocation/copying strategies (C/C++/STL), or by linking/referencing strategies (JAVA).
How can you make a array with the number 16?
If you mean how do you create an array with 16 elements, there are two ways: int a[16]; /* fixed size array of 16 integer elements */ int* b = malloc(16*sizeof(int)); /* variable length array with (initially) 16 integer elements */ Remember that variable length arrays allocated on the heap must be released as soon as they are no longer required: free (b); b=NULL;
What do you call a symbol that can represent a quantity?
VARIABLE. When this variable has a fixed number assigned to it and does not change, it is called a "fixed variable".
