execvp second argument question

Hi,

If I have a an array of string (**char args), but the size of the
array is, lets say, 10, whilst the arguments are 2. If I set the third
index (index no 2) to '\0', will this work for the following?

In other words, the size of the array is larger than the number of
elements in the array (and I set the last element to '\0')

int rval;
rval = execvp(myCommand, args);

Thanks,

Alij
