I was trying to define 3d array with pointer to pointer. I wrote like
following.

int ***d;
nx = 3;
ny = 5;
nz = 4;

d = (int ***)malloc((int) nx*sizeof(int **));
*d = (int **)malloc((int) nx*ny*sizeof(int*));
**d = (int *)malloc((int) nx*ny*nz*sizeof(int));
for(i = 1; i < nx ; i++) d[i] = d[i-1] + ny;
for(i = 0; i < nx ; i++)
for(j = 1; j < ny ; j++) d[i][j] = d[i][j-1] + nz;


for(i=0 ; i < nx; i ++)
for(j = 0; j < ny; j++)
for(k = 0 ; k < nz; k++)
d[i][j][k] = 100*(i+1) + 10*(j+1) + k;


it compiled ok. but when I ran it, it shows error message like
"segementation fault.."

What did I do wrong ? can someone help me ?

thank you.

d = malloc(nx * sizeof *d);
if(d == NULL) { HANDLE_THE_ERROR; }

for(i = 0; i < nx; i++)
{
d[i] = malloc(ny * sizeof *d[i]);
if(d[i] == NULL) { CLEAN_UP; HANDLE_THE_ERROR; }

for(j = 0; j < ny; j++)
{
d[i][j] = malloc(nz * sizeof *d[i][j]);
if(d[i][j] == NULL) { CLEAN_UP; HANDLE_THE_ERROR; }
for(k = 0; k < nz; k++)
{
d[i][j][k] = 42;

Hi Richard, it's Sarah Thompson here. I've been trying to contact you
urgently, but haven't succeeded through usual channels, so many
apologies for posting here but I am not aware of any alternative.

You need to contact your brother Robert urgently in connection with a
family matter. Feel free to email me directly and I'll fill you in on
the details.

Best regards,

You store one address into d.

You store one address at *d.

> **d = (int *)malloc((int) nx*ny*nz*sizeof(int));

You store one address at **d.

You now try to access 60 addresses. What is wrong with this picture?
