This thread is cross-posted to comp.lang.c and alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++.
A C++ example is appropriate in the latter, but not in the former.

Here's the C equivalent:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    char Data[3][7] = {"Line 1", "Line 2", "Line 3" };

    printf("%s\n", Data[0]);
    printf("%s\n", Data[1]);
    printf("%s\n", Data[2]);

    printf("%c %c\n", Data[0][0], Data[0][1]);

    return 0;
}
