Is it possible to convert char[] to char* in C?

Question

I\'m doing an assignment where we have to read a series of strings from a file into an array. I have to call a cipher algorithm on the array (cipher transposes 2D arrays). S

You don't need to declare them as arrays if you want to use use them as pointers. You can simply reference pointers as if they were multi-dimensional arrays. Just create it as a pointer to a pointer and use malloc:

int i;
int M=30, N=25;
int ** buf;
buf = (int**) malloc(M * sizeof(int*));
for(i=0;i

and then you can reference buf[3][5] or whatever.
