Too many initializers for char[9][9] [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use single quote instead:

char dash[9][9]={
    {'1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9'},
    {'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i'},
    {'q','w','e','r','t','y','u','i','o'},
    {'9','8','7','6','5','4','3','2','1'},
    {'i','h','g','f','e','d','c','b','a'},
    {'o','i','u','y','t','r','e','w','q'},
    {'z','x','y','w','v','u','t','s','r'},
    {'a','l','l','s','t','a','r','p','y'},
    {'m','o','n','d','o','l','o','r','i'}
};

Answer 2

You need to change all your double-quotes "" to single quotes ''.

Otherwise, they are strings instead of chars.

In this case, a simple find-and-replace should do the trick.

Answer 3

Change the char to char* and leave the double quotes. When you want to use it as character, cast it back as a character. This way you can have both characters and arrays of characters (strings).

Answer 4

You're initializing the array with strings, not chars, thus each element is trying to fit in the char and a null terminator. Try '1', '2', '3', etc.

Answer 5

If you use double quotes, it is done like this...

char dash[9][9] =
{
    "123456789",
    "abcdefghi",
    "qwertyuio",
    "987654321",
    "ihgfedcba",
    "oiuytrewq",
    "zxywvutsr",
    "allstarpy",
    "mondolori"
};

Otherwise, use single quotation marks. Note that you can get a warning such as

error: initializer-string for array of chars is too long [-fpermissive]

from G++ 4.6.2 (compiler options -Wall -Wextra).

Answer 6

Shouldn't you use single quotes ' instead of double quotes "?
