alternatively like so:


Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

const char * names[] = {
                "yahoo",
                "rediff",
                "facebook",
                NULL
                };

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    const char ** p;
    for( p = names; *p  ;p++)
    {
            printf(" Name = %s    len = %d\n", *p, strlen(*p));
    }

    return 0;

}
