Question

…without using typedef.

My boss claims he was once asked this in an interview, and when he gave his answer the interviewers told him he couldn’t use typedefs because it was poor style.

Regardless, he likes to throw the question out at people just to see if they can get it right , usually at new programmer lunches. No one ever gets it right (especially without a pen and paper or computer handy). I want to be ready next time he tries to stump someone with it >:D

Answer 1

void* array[m][n];

Will give you a 2D array of void pointers. I’m not sure what’s so confusing about this, unless I misunderstood your question.
