int *ip;	// pointer to int
int arr[10];	// array of int

These are not the same type. Look it up.

Creates an object of type array of 100 int, converts it to type  int*, 
and stores the result in p.

int i = 3.1;

Creates an object of type double, converts it to type int, and stores 
the result in i.

Being able to convert one type into another does not make the types the same.
