Finding array length

Asked by Professor in C Programming Language

Tags: array, length

Hi!

I am currently getting frustrated about a problem I have been thinking about for ages.

If I have a function:

void in_array_cp(char *haystack[],char *needle)
{
...
}

which is supposed to find out if an array (haystack) contains a certain element(needle), I need to know the number of elements in the array to be able to scan through it. Is there a way to find the number of elements in the array or do I need to pass it as another parameter?

Thx
