/prog/ - Newbie Reporting For Duty

I have two C questions:

1. "char **e;" Would this be a pointer to a pointer to a char? So basically, a pointer to a string?

2. "char **i[5];" and "char (*g)[3];" What is those?

In before "homework". It's not. It's personal interest!

Yes.
Pointers are not strings, don't confuse the newbie!

Also, OP, look up >>argv<< to understand char ** in practice.

So this would be a correct statement:
char *hax = "Hax My Anus";
char **anus;
anus = &hax;
printf("%s\n", *anus);

Ok.

I will look up argv. Just tell me what it is!

char *anus = "Hax My Anus";
char *prog = "prog owns";
char **string[2];
string[0] = &anus;
string[1] = &prog;
printf("%s\n", *string[0]);
printf("%s\n", *string[1]);

I see. Array of pointers to strings. I am getting there. わぁぁぁぁぁぁぁぁ！

strings
stop calling them that, you'll only hurt yourself later on

Agreed. C does not support strings except as literals; once you need to actually do something with a string, you have to reinvent the ~~wheel~~ string.
