  unsigned int count = 0;                              // Length of a string
  unsigned int strCount = sizeof(str)/sizeof(str[0]);  // Number of strings
  printf("There are %u strings.\n", strCount);

  // find the lengths of the strings
  for(unsigned int i = 0 ; i < strCount ; ++i)

    count = 0;
    while (str[i][count])
