C - initialize array of structs

Question

I am having a problem initializing an array of structs. I\'m not sure if I am doing it right because I get \"initialization from incompatible pointer type\" & \"assignme

Answer 1

When initializing, shoudn't it be like this?

student** students = (struct student**)malloc(sizeof(student*)*numStudents);

However, why pointer to a pointer? Just with a pointer to struct is enough I think.
