Re: [Dev-C++] char Array - DevC++ beginner...

[Mediatex <ma...@me...>]

Create the array by specifying the required size in the square brackets:
e.g. char Name[12];

then put characters in the array like this:
Name[0]='J';
(use single quotes around the character and remember that array numbering 
starts at 0)

or fill the array on creation, like this:
char Name[12]={"Janine"};

or use strcpy() , like this:
strcpy(Name, "Janine");

Good luck.

I am trying to create an array type char in Dev++ like this:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>

int main()
{
char Name[];

Name[1]="J";

cout << sizeof(Name);

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

and DevC++ is telling me that the array size is missing and that assig to 
"char" from "const char" lacks a cast.

Anyone could please help me with what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.
