Initialize a 2D string array and print it

Question

I'm learning C for fun and I'm trying to make a program that creates a array of strings. I'm trying this right now:

char str[2][10];
strcpy(str[0], "foo");
strcpy(str[1], "bar");
printf("%d \n",str[0]);
printf("%d \n",str[1]);

But my printf returns only some numbers, and I would like it to display foo and bar . I've been reading about and I think that it is displaying a pointer to my strings. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You are printing using the format %d , which is used to print an int . Modify your code to :

printf("%s\n", str[0]);
printf("%s\n", str[1]);

See this link for more information on the specifiers' format for printf .
