int a[4] means only 16 bytes r allocated so we can store only a elements
but
int a[] ={1,2,34} means we can create as many elements as possible mem 'll be allocated only after initialization Source: CoolInterview.com

The first array has a fixed size of 8 bytes, and it cannot accept any more elements.
In the second array, memory is allocated only after initialization, i.e. there is no pre allocation of memory as in the previous array format. Source: CoolInterview.com
