    invalid initializer

    PHP Code:
    char result[] = concat((char)area_camada,"-",(char)boxes_camada,"-",(char)wires_camada,"]"); 
    invalid initializer
    Why?

    With this i want a result like this for example lets assume that:
    int area_camada = 33
    int boxes_camada = 45
    int wires_camada = 8533

    The result would be:
    "33-45-8533]"

    Use sprintf?
    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*

    This is what sprintf was designed to do, so of course it works for this sort of thing. Yes the "output" of sprintf can be put in a char array.

    sprintf works just like printf, except it has a first argument that is a char pointer (or array) that is the destination, instead of the "console" where printf normally ends up.

    So if you know how to print the string using printf, then all you need to do is change it like this:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
       char buf[100];
       printf("Hello, World!\n");
       sprintf(buf, "Hello, World from sprintf\n");
       printf("%s", buf);
       return 0;
    }

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
