Time to try doing this again.

No, not really. You can't set structs like that, nor can you set char arrays like that. Any setting of variables with the brackets requires you to set it in the initialization (the very spot the variable is declared). You can however set char* kind of like that (using a constant literal string).
- Code: Select all
char buffer[30];
char* string;
buffer = "you can't do this";
string = "you can do this"; // because it is a pointer
// it sets the pointer to a place in memory where "you can do this" is stored
// but it is constant and can't be changed
