this statement is correct. you should post basic C related questions to
either news:comp.lang.c or news:comp.lang.c.moderated. while you are at it,
also check out the comp.lang.c FAQ before posting.

actually no ...there is room for exactly 5 pointers (which is what you asked
for) the index ranges from 0 to 4.

str points to deep space. it needs to point to valid storage.

ditto.

ditto*ditto.
