How to get size of 2D array pointed by a double pointer?

Question

I am trying to get the number of rows and columns of a 2D Array from a double pointer pointed to the array.

#include 
#include 

        

Answer 1

void get_details(int **a)
{
 int row =  ???     // how get no. of rows
 int column = ???  //  how get no. of columns
 printf("\n\n%d - %d", row,column);
}

I'm afraid you can't, as all you will get is the size of the pointer.

You need to pass the size of the array. Change your signature to:

void get_details(int **a, int ROW, int COL)
