    This is a 3 dimensional array of chars. The first dimension is 8, the second 4 and the third 10.

    If you want to access the (i,j,k)-th element you have to write
    Code:
    a[i][j][k]
    By curiosity, where do you need that?
    Code - functions and small libraries I use


    It’s 2014 and I still use printf() for debugging.

    I hope this is not supposed to represent some 2D string array...?

    what do you need it for? or in what context are you expected to use it? As stated already it is a 3d array - that is it can be used to express let's say blocks within a cube [3][3][3]
