// Pointers can be easily used to create a 2D array in C using malloc. The idea is to first create a one dimensional array of pointers, and then, for each array entry, // create another one dimensional array. Here's a sample code:
double** theArray;  
theArray = (double**) malloc(arraySizeX*sizeof(double*));  
for (int i = 0; i < arraySizeX; i++)  
   theArray[i] = (double*) malloc(arraySizeY*sizeof(double));  

// What I usually do is create a function called Make2DDoubleArray that returns a (double**) and then use it in my code to declare 2D arrays here and there
double** Make2DDoubleArray(int arraySizeX, int arraySizeY) {  
double** theArray;  
theArray = (double**) malloc(arraySizeX*sizeof(double*));
