C++ Programming Concerns

[codexmax]

Hi, I have not been in C++ for not very long and have a couple of questions. Hope you can help clear this up! Thanks!

Consider the operating system's task of communicating the parameter strings to your program. Why is an array of pointers a better data structure than a 2D char array for data such as this?

Because you need to copy the whole data structure when you pass it as argument to a function.

That sounds very much like a homework question.
