Memory allocation for char array

Question

I have a big problem with C language when it comes to strings, char * \'s or whatever... So in this particular case I have a huge problem. I want to create an array

Answer 1

First declare a pointer to a "char". Then ask (the system) for space to store your required number of values using malloc and then add elements to this "array".

char * test;
int num_of_elements = 99;
test = malloc(sizeof(char) * num_of_elements); 
//test points to first array elament
test[0] = 11;
test[1] = 22;
//etc
