array of string in c

In C language, an array of strings can be created using a two-dimensional character array. Each element of the array will be a string, represented by a character array.

Here is an example of how to declare and initialize an array of strings in C:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char strings[3][20] = {
        "Hello",
        "World",
        "C Programming"
    };

    // Accessing and printing the strings
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        printf("%s\n", strings[i]);
    }

    return 0;
}

In this example, we have created an array of strings called strings, which can store a maximum of 3 strings, each with a maximum length of 19 characters (plus the null character \0 at the end).

To access and print the strings, we use a loop and the %s format specifier in the printf() function.

Note that in C, strings are represented as character arrays, terminated by a null character \0. So, when declaring the array, we need to specify the maximum length of each string to ensure enough space is allocated.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
