why it doesn't work?

hey you guys(and girls)....

if B is a 1D array (for instance int B[3]) and C is an int* pointer
(int*) then i can write C=B and everything will be cool.
but if B is a 2D array (for instance int B[3][5]) and C ia an int**
pointer (int**) then the same line , C=B, generates a warning
(incompatible types) and further use of C as a 2D array gets a runtime
error.....

y is this happening??? especially when we know that *(*(B+1)+2)
is legal !!


10x a lot,
the confused C-lover....
