Create 2D array by passing pointer to function in c

Question

So I read dozens of examples of passing an 2D array pointer to function to get/change values of that array in function. But is it possible to create (allocate memory) inside

Answer 1

Yes, an array can be initialized this way. As long as you pass a pointer, the memory address should remain the same. So, if you assign anything to the pointer it will valid.

Think of an a[] as a* pointer to the first element

a [][] will be a** pointer to a pointer of the first element or a pointer to the first array (first row of a table)
