Incompatible pointer to character conversion

Question

I\'m writing a program to write card values into a 52 spot character multi-dimensional array. This program is one test array that I will write as a function into the main progra

Answer 1

You need to doing a strcpy and not assigning string literals directly. Also, the array usage is wrong.

The code should be like below:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main ()
{
    char CardValue[52][6];
    int i;

   /* Not clear what you are trying in the below 2 lines. But, it'll not work :-) */
    /*CardValue[i][6]=i;
    CardValue[i];*/    

    for (i=0;i<52;i++)
    {

        switch (i%13)
        {
            case '0': strcpy(CardValue[i],"ACE");
            break;

            case '1': strcpy(CardValue[i],"2");
            break;

          /** Do the same way for other case **/

        }
     }
}

Answer 2

You should #include <string.h> and do something like this:

case '0': strcpy(CardValue[i],"ACE");

etc. Also note, that CardValue[i]; has no effect at all. You should also remove CardValue[i][6]=i;, I don't really know what you meant by that, but it surely should not be there.
