Question

As i know, i can create an array with item inside such as:

char *test1[3]= {\"arrtest\",\"ao\", \"123\"};

but how can i store my input into arr

Answer 1

This code inspired me on how to get my user input strings into an array. I'm new to C and to this board, my apologies if I'm not following some rules on how to post a comment. I'm trying to figure things out.

#include 

int main()

{

char strings[3][256];

scanf("%s %s %s", strings[0], strings[1], strings[2]);

printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n", strings[0], strings[1], strings[2]);

}
