array of pointers each pointing to an array

[muttski]

Ive created an array of pointers that each points to the beginning of different arrays but I need to know how to access the elements inside each of the arrays they point to.

I got something kinda like this but a bit more complex
[code]
int *CowPointer[64];
int whatever[32];

CowPointer[0]=&whatever;
[/cow]

now how do I access the individual elements in whatever, I kinda doubt I can say CowPointer[0][5] to access whatever[5], but I donna, Im not at home to try.

int *CowPointer[64]; 
int whatever[32]; 
CowPointer[0]=whatever;

Then
CowPointer[0][x] is the same as whatever[x]

is't obvious that it will behave and be accessed as a two dimetional array.

but when I try to access it as a 2 dimensional array it complains about something (Im not at home so I forget what).

Alright I compiled this at school, heres a perfect example of the problem:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   int *BigDumbPointer[50]; //array of pointers
   int test[32]; //array of ints

   BigDumbPointer[0]=test; //assign address of test to pointer

   *BigDumbPointer[0][0]=1; //just to show that it ..........s up
   

   return 0;
}

the error is:
Invalid indirection
and its on the line that I show it messes up on.

Loose the asterisk, as in

BigDumbPointer[0][0]=1; //just to show that it won't .......... up

Oops, sorry that makes sense.
