Passing 2D Array of Pointers in C

Question

For my program I need to pass a 2D array of pointers to a function in a separate file. I\'ve written a similarly-syntaxed file below:

#include 
#

Only the first index is optional. You should definitely mention the second index, because a two dimensional array decays to a pointer to 1d array.

void setFirst(card_t *cards[][5]) {
                           // ^ Newly added

 // ..

}

Also make sure that the pointers are pointing to valid memory locations. Else dereferencing leads to segmentation faults. BTW, is there any reason to have a two dimensional array with pointers. I think you are just complicating the program.
