To dynamicallly alloc an array of size mXn with fewer memory allocations than n + 1:

double **M;
M= (double**)malloc(m*sizeof(double*));
M[0] =(double*)malloc(m*n*sizeof(double));
for(i=1;i


By avoiding some allocations, this code can run faster than the ususal code:

M= (double**)malloc(m*sizeof(double*));
for(i= 0;i
