Question

I want to create a string array where user will give the input and data will be stored in array..I have no clue how to do that-(I read several C books)
Any help ll be appreciated
What I tried so far:

int choice;
    printf("enter the number of the strings: ");
    scanf("%d",&choice);
char **str=(char **)malloc(100);
    int i;



    for(i=0;i<choice;i++)
    {
        printf("enter %dth element ",i+1);
            str[i]=(char *)malloc(10);
        scanf("%s",str[i]);
    }
    printf("%s",str[0]);

You will have to allocate and initialize space for each string before reading them in. If you know he length of your input string then malloc/calloc that much space else guess a size but that would be wastage of space.

for(i=0;i<choice;i++)
     {
         printf("enter %dth element ",i+1);
         str[i] = malloc(sizeof(char)*length);
         memset(str[i],0,length);
         scanf("%s",str[i]);
     }
