    dynamic arrays and structures

    I'm trying to set up a structure within a structure, but there's also two dynamic arrays inside:

    Code:
    struct Sentence {
    int numwords; 
    char **words;
    };
    
    struct Document {
    int numLines;
    Sentence *sentences;
    } Doc;
    that's a structure (Doc) with a dynamic structure inside (Sentence *sentences) with a dynamic array inside that (char **words)

    The problem is I can't seem to access the char **words portion of the array.

    I've set up:
    Code:
    int len=0;
    Doc.sentences = new Sentence[len];
    However, I can't seem to be able to figure how to dynamically allocate memory for **words so that it becomes an array of pointers.

    Code:
      char **strings;
      
      strings = new char*[15];
      
      int i;
      
        for(i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
          strings[i] = new char[100];
      
          sprintf(strings[i], "%i\n", i+1);
      
          printf("%s", strings[i]);
         }
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }
