c++ - How to use pointers with strings? -

i know question not specific let me explain code

char name[5][30]; (int = 0; < 5; i++)     cin >> name[i];  (int = 0; < 5; i++)     cout<<name[i]; 

in example above created array of characters can input 5 words each 30 bit length. , works fine when try use pointer when don't know how many words input. error in line 5 saying value of type int cant asigned char , understand error how how pass problem?

int n; cout << "number of names" << endl; cin >> n; int *name; name = new char[n][30]; (int = 0; < 5; i++){     cin >> *name;     name++;  }  (int = 0; < 5; i++){     cout << *name;     name++; } 

• use char, not int.
• incrementing name doesn't seem idea because have returned first element before printing. used array indexing operator.
• i guess n input & output should done instead of fixed 5 input & output.

    int n;     cout << "number of names" << endl;     cin >> n;     char (*name)[30];     name = new char[n][30];     (int = 0; < n; i++){         cin >> name[i];      }      (int = 0; < n; i++){         cout << name[i];     }     delete[] name;
