Passing multi-dimensional arrays in C

Question

I am currently trying to learn C and I have come to a problem that I\'ve been unable to solve.

Consider:

#include 
#include 

        

Answer 1

Here is the working code:

#include 
#include 
#include 

#define ELEMENTS 5

void make(char ***array) {
    char *t = "Hello, World!";

    *array = malloc(ELEMENTS * sizeof(char *));

    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < ELEMENTS; ++i) {
        (*array)[i] = strdup(t);
    }
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    char **array;
    make(&array);

    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < ELEMENTS; ++i) {
        printf("%s\n", array[i]);
        free(array[i]);
    }
    free(array);
    return 0;
}

As the other have posted - there was unused size, and strdup allocates memory by itself, and it is nice to free the memory afterwards...
