The first for loop at line 11 fetches input, creates buffers, and assigns those buffer addresses to the fruit array elements. First at lines 14 and 15, input is fetched and stored in the buffer array. At line 18 storage is allocated for the fruit array element x, based on the input string's length, plus one for the null character. I hope you didn't forget this plus one part of the allocation. The if statements handle the condition when memory isn't available, otherwise the address of the string input is copied into a element of the fruit array at line 26.
