Answer 1

Is there a way to find the number of strings in the array

Of course there is, try this:

#include

int main(void){
    size_t size, i=0;
    int count=0;
    char* names[]={"A", "B", "C"};

    size = sizeof(names)/sizeof(char*);

    for(i=0;i

1 - A
2 - B
3 - C

The number of strings found are 3

Same thing with:

#include

int main(void){
    size_t size, i=0;
    int count=0;
    char *names[]={"Jimmy", "Tom", "Michael", "Maria", "Sandra", "Madonna"};

    size = sizeof(names)/sizeof(char*);

    for(i=0;i

Output:

1 - Jimmy
2 - Tom
3 - Michael
4 - Maria
5 - Sandra
6 - Madonna

The number of strings found are 6

Or use a Function like this:

#include

size_t arrLength(size_t len, char **arr){
    size_t i=0;
    size_t count=0;

    for(i=0;i

Output:

1 - Jimmy
2 - Tom
3 - Michael
4 - Maria
5 - Sandra
6 - Madonna

The number of strings found are 6
