If you don’t want to change the strings, then you could simply do
const char *a[2];
a[0] = "blah";
a[1] = "hmm";
When you do it like this you will allocate an array of two pointers to const char
. These pointers will then be set to the addresses of the static strings "blah"
and "hmm"
.
If you do want to be able to change the actual string content, the you have to do something like
char a[2][14];
strcpy(a[0], "blah");
strcpy(a[1], "hmm");
This will allocate two consecutive arrays of 14 char
s each, after which the content of the static strings will be copied into them.
