I need to hold an array of C strings. Now I know C strings are just an array of chars so essentially what I want is a 2d array of chars. The strings I'm trying to store will also never exceed 6 characters. My plan is to initialize a char array with 50 "string slots" and then if I hit 50 strings reallocate the array's memory to double it's capacity. I've tried something simple like:

```
int main() {
    char strings[50][6];
    strings[0] = "test";
    printf("The string is: %s", strings[0]);
    return(0);
}

```

But, when I go to compile it I get the following error:

> 
> test.c: In function ‘main’: test.c:3:
>  error: incompatible types when
>  assigning to type ‘char[6]’ from type
>  ‘char \*’ test.c:4: warning:
>  incompatible implicit declaration of
>  built-in function ‘printf’
> 
> 
> 

Can anyone point in me in the right direction?
