Answer 1

Don't mind me I'm just adding an example using calloc

void allocate_fudging_array(int R, int C)
{
    int **fudging_array = (int **) calloc(R, sizeof(int *));
    for(int k = 0; k < R; k++)
    {
        fudging_array[k] = (int*) calloc(C, sizeof(int));
    }
}


// a helper function to print the array 
void print2darr(int **arr, int R, int C)
{
    for(int i = 0; i < R; i++)
    {
        for(int j = 0; j < C; j++)
        {
            printf(" %d  ", arr[i][j]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}
