strcmp syntax is:
strcmp(const char *s1,const char *s2) and your type is same as **sent which is same as sent[][],so
instead use it like:
strcmp(sent,wor d)

Well, not exactly. **sent is not "the same as" sent[][].
char *sent[5] is an array of 5 char pointers.
char word[5] is an array of 5 chars.
However, the prototype Savage gave is correct.
If you are using word to store a c-string and you are using sent to store an array of 5 c-strings then you would have to change it so that strcmp will receive a char const * or a char * (which the language will automatically convert to const). So if you compare the 0th c-string pointed at by sent to the c-string stored in word, you would use strcmp(sent[0], word).
The array will auto degrade to a pointer when used like this.
NOTE: You have not assigned the 5 pointers in sent, they are pointing at random memory locations. Also, word is not initialised either so its values are also indeterminate.

Hi,
One of the disadvantages of using error handling with error codes
instead of exception handling is that error codes retuned from a
function can be forgotten to check thus leading to
unexpected run-time problems. Exceptions on the other hand can not be
simply ignored.
In order to solve this error codes problem I suggest using error...
