2D Arrays and Pointers - C

Question

Just trying to really get my head round Arrays and Pointers in C and the differences between them and am having some trouble with 2d arrays.

For the normal 1D array

Answer 1

Quote from Wikipedia:

In computing, a scalar variable or field is one that can hold only one value at a time... ...For example, char, int, float, and double are the most common scalar data types in the C programming language.

So as Oli Charlesworth pointed out in his reply using {.....} initializes multiple items but as char **arr_pointer is a 'scalar' and so can only point at 1 thing at a time (an address) then the {...} notation cannot work here.
