How do I create an array of strings in C?

Question

I am trying to create an array of strings in C. If I use this code:

char (*a[2])[14];
a[0]=\"blah\";
a[1]=\"hmm\";

gcc gives me \"warning:

Answer 1

Your code is creating an array of function pointers. Try

char* a[size];

or

char a[size1][size2];

instead.

See wikibooks to arrays and pointers
