How do I create an array of strings in C?

I am trying to create an array of strings in C. If I use this code:

char (*a[2])[14];
a[0]=\"blah\";
a[1]=\"hmm\";

gcc gives me \"warning:

If you don't want to keep track of number of strings in array and want to iterate over them, just add NULL string in the end:

char *strings[]={ "one", "two", "three", NULL };

int i=0;
while(strings[i]) {
  printf("%s\n", strings[i]);
  //do something
  i++;
};
