Question

Hello every one I have made a small function which takes a pointer to 2D array and fill it with word linearly i.e. I fill my 2D array row by row with the give word.I think its working fine but i got segmentation fault when I tries to print my array.Can any one help me where am I going wrong.

Thanks

void create_table(char *key ,char (*table)[5]){

    int row=0, col=0;
    while(*key){
        *(table + row++)[col++] = *key++; 
                printf("%c" , table[0][0]); // Here I got seg fault

        if(col == 4){
            col=0;
            row++;      
        }

    }       

}

//===================================

int main(){
    char table[5][5];
    create_table("monarchy" ,table);
        return 0;

}

 *(table + row++)[col++] = *key++;

Should not be “row++”, just “row”. You’re incrementing “row” elsewhere already.
