if I have this:
char *names[4]={"james", "rob", "mike", "denis"};
char *words[2]={"house", "market"};

how would I make a function that would assign a pointer to represent one
of these two (names or words) depending on a number....sorta like this

char Do_It(int type)
{
[what kind of variable do I declare here??]
char **strings;   //????

if (type==0)
  [Then assign pointer to names]
else if (type==1)
  [Then assign same pointer to words]


return 0;
}

how would I assign it......the way I was doing it (i think its wrong) is
strings=words;
or strings=names;

but that causes errors...crashes..
