Why the std::is_array in template function is not distinguishing between int and array type?

In the following code, I am using a template function and type traits to distinguish between an integer type (else case) and array type. I would expect the output to be int and array respectively, instead I get int int with the two calls that instantiates the template functions respectively with an int type and an array type:

Why is that?

#include <iostream>
#include <array>

template <typename T>
inline static void constexpr SetCoordinates()
{
    if (std::is_array<T>::value)
        std::cout<<"array\n";
    else
        std::cout<<"int\n";
}


int main()
{
 int a = 6;
 std::array<int, 4> arr = {1,2,3,4};
 SetCoordinates<decltype(a)>();
 SetCoordinates<decltype(arr)>();
 return 0;
}
