Question

the message i get is 'const char*' to 'char' im trying to use a string array, im not sure what this means. im only a beginer so try and keep ur answers simple

Answer 1

I think you have syntax error
check your declaration....
if you are using strings,then you cannot declar it with character (char). you should declar it as a string .


also check if have written #include on the top of the program..
for example:

#include //this is for printf ans scanf -as you should know-

#include // this one is for the string cause you are using it.

the when you declare..use for example
string alpabet ; ((or any name that you declare))

good luck!!

Answer 2

If you do not know the difference between a char* and char then you seriously need to learn more C before you attempt to play with strings.

Exactly what error are you getting? It all depends on what you declared and how you are modifying it. Remember that a string array is really an array of char *. You have to dereference those pointers before assigning values.

Answer 3

it would help to see the code where the error is occouring, but, it sounds like you are trying to pass a char pointer when only a char is required OR you are trying to pass a char when a char pointer is required.

Answer 4

What you need is a tutorial for C programming.
