Which of the following statements are correct about the below declarations?
char *p = "Sanjay";
char a[] = "Sanjay";

3:	The pointer p can be modified to point to another string, whereas the individual characters within array a can be changed.
4:	In both cases the '\0' will be added at the end of the string "Sanjay".
