I am a newbe not only in C but in programming. I am actually reading K&R.
This is why I tried to run your application.
It seems not to be running on my system. There is maybe a copy/paste
mistake somewhere. As I know everybody on this newsgroup cares about
portability I thought about writing this.
From a previous thread
================
/*
* You clearly have a conceptual problem. Let's try to address it. The
* text says that we should *assume* that each element of b points to an
* array of 20 ints, not that the declaration makes it so. How might
* this happen?
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
int *b[10];
size_t i, j;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
if (!(b[i] = malloc(20 * sizeof *b[i]))) {
fprintf(stderr, "problem allocating b[%u]\n", (unsigned) i);
for (j = 0; j < i; j++)
free(b[i]);
}
/* Each element of b now points to a region of memory whose contents
is an array[20] of int. Indeed, each element of b points to an
array[20] of int */
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
for (j = 0; j < 20; j++)
b[i][j] = 100 * i + j;
for (j = 0; j < 20; j++)
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
printf("%3d%c", b[i][j], (i == 9) ? '\n' : ' ');
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
free(b[i]);
return 0;
}

I tried this (int*) malloc(20 * sizeof *b[i]))
and (int*) malloc (sizeof (int) * 20))
