No instance of overloaded function “strcpy_s” matches the argument list

问题

For some reason a char cant go in strcopy_s();...

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>

using namespace std;

struct DATE {
    int year;
    int month;
    int date;
};
struct Book {
    char name[50];
    char author[50];
    int id;
    DATE date;
};

int main() {
     Book book1;
     DATE date1;
     char bookName, bookAuthor;
     int date, year, month;

     cout << "Date Of Publishing? " << endl;
     cin >> date;
     cout << "Month Of Publishing?" << endl;
     cin >> month;
     cout << "Year Of Publishing?" << endl;
     cin >> year;
     date1.year = year;
     date1.month = month;
     date1.date = date;

     cout << "Book Name ? " << endl;
     cin >> bookName;
     cout << "Book Author" << endl;
     cin >> bookAuthor;
     strcpy_s(book1.name, bookName);
     strcpy_s(book1.author, bookAuthor);
    return 0;
}

Gives me the error:

回答1:

Correct. strcpy and its family take char*, not char. They work on C strings. And you can't generally put a bookName into a single character anyway.

That said, welcome to the 21st century. We use std::string now, far easier.
