Malloc a 3-Dimensional array in C?

Question

I\'m translating some MATLAB code into C and the script I\'m converting makes heavy use of 3D arrays with 10*100*300 complex entries. The size of the array also depends on t

Answer 1

add #include "stdlib.h" and remove the * from *array[i] and it will run when compiled in gcc 4.4.1 on Ubuntu

also if you add print statements you can find your bugs quicker

#include 
#include 

int main () {
  int ***array = malloc(3*sizeof(int**));
  int i, j;

  printf("%s\n","OK");

  for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    printf("i = %i \n",i);
    array[i] = malloc(3*sizeof(int*));
    for (j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
      printf("i,j = %i,%i \n",i,j);
      array[i][j] = malloc(3*sizeof(int));
    }
  }

  array[1][2][1] = 10;

  return 0;
}
