Could you recommend some good and extensive tutorials on passing

>>61743751
A 2d array is an array of arrays. An array is a pointer to a block of memory. Pass a pointer-to-pointer and two dimensions.

int dosomething(int **array, int max_x, int max_y) {
    for(int i = 0, i < max_x, i++)
        for(int j = 0, j < max_y, j++)
            printf("array[%d][%d] is %d\n", i, j, array[i][j]);
}

How do I interpret such error
note: expected ‘char **’ but argument is of type ‘char (*)[(sizetype)(max_chars)]’|

>>61744145
What is a char**? It is "a pointer to (or an array of) a pointer to char".
What is a char (*)[...]? It is "a pointer to (or an array of) an array of chars of size ...".
The compiler expected you to pass a char[][] but you passed a char*[].

Post code

Everything is easier with code

>>61744214
Sorry, I got it backwards. The compiler expected a char*[] but you passed it a char[][]. Th solution is changing the type of the argument, from char** x to char (*x)[whateversize].

int holds a single integer
int* holds a pointer to an int and contiguous memory allocation allows you to store subsequent ints
int** holds a pointer to a int* and contiguous memory allocation allows you to store subsequent int*s

Someone post the "we must go deeper" thing from Inception.

Ok, so more or less I have something like that (will have to divide into few posts)

#include <stdio.h>
#include "textfunc.h"

int main()
{
    FILE *fp = fopen("test.txt","r");

    int row_count=countrows(fp);
    printf("Text file have %d rows.\n", row_count);

    int max_chars=maxlinechars(fp);
    printf("Text file longest row have %d chars.\n", max_chars);

    char file_array[row_count][max_chars];

    ftoa(fp,file_array[row_count][max_chars],max_chars);
    int rows;
    rows=0;
    while(rows<row_count)
    {
        puts(file_array[rows]);
        rows++;

    }

    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

>>61744423

#ifndef TEXTFUNC_H
#define TEXTFUNC_H
#include <stdio.h>

int countrows(FILE *fp);
int maxlinechars(FILE *fp);
int max_chars;
void ftoa(FILE *fp, char file_array[][max_chars],int row_count);

#endif

for some reason I'm getting connection error every time I want to post few code blocks.

>>61744449
I don't why but I can't post the last part of program
https://pastebin.com/u1ZDQgTk
What I want to do is a simple program that loads text file into array where every row is seperate array element so

array[0]="some text"
array[1]="foo"
...
array[row_count]="bar"

The purpose of function ftoa is to load the contents of file to the array.

char ** list;

list = malloc sizeof(char **) * number of lines

for (i=0;i <Numberoflinesinfile; i++)

Then malloc each string
List[i] = malloc size of char * string length
Read file into this string until end of line character detected

The return your list, a char **

>>61744489
Is max_chars a global constant? Is it a global variable? Is it a macro?
