HELP with 2D arrays

[sass208]

hi i need help scanning values from a file into a 2d dynamic array
i attached the file i need to scan

and heres my code so far

the array should be 7X6

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "linear_algebra.h"

int main(){
	int n,i,j;

	FILE * ifile;
  ifile = fopen ("points.csv","r");
	fscanf(ifile, "%d\n", &n);/*read in the number of points n.*/
	printf("%d\n", n);



  double **a;     /* this is the array of points name */
  int num_rows; /* this variable will be used for the first  dimension */
  int num_col; /* this variable will be used for the second dimension */


  num_rows = n;
  num_col = 6;

  /*  allocate storage for an array of pointers */
  a = malloc(num_rows * sizeof(double *));

  /* for each pointer, allocate storage for an array of doubles */
  for (i = 0; i < num_rows; i++) {
    a[i] = malloc(num_col * sizeof(double));
  }

  /* assign the value to each element        */
  for (i = 0; i < num_rows; i++) {
    for (j = 0; j < num_col; j++) {
      fscanf(ifile,"%lf\n", &a[i][j]);

    }

  }

  /* now show the contents that were assigned */
  for (i = 0; i < num_rows; i++) {
    for (j = 0; j < num_col; j++) {
      printf("%lf",a[i][j]);
    }

  }


	/* now for each pointer, free its array of dbles */
  for (i = 0; i < num_rows; i++) {
    free(a[i]);
  }
  /* now free the array of pointers */
  free(a);

	fclose(ifile);
	return 0;
}

so what is the problem? what is it doing/not doing...show some output

So what's the question?

> fscanf(ifile,"%lf\n", &a[i][j]);
The \n is unnecessary ?

> printf("%lf",a[i][j]);
There is no space between output numbers, so it's all mushed together into one long string?

> double **a;
C doesn't support mixed declarations and statements. Move these above your initial statements to where the rest of your variables are declared.

Everything else seems OK.
