const structure array declaration

[dezz101]

Hey guys, im trying to write some code for a micro-controller outputs to a little speaker a song that is programed in C, but I want to make it so that it can play other songs just by changing where its says "change song here", but I get an error when I say

"

const Note_Beats Song = Saints;

" why??? and how can I fix this???

//**************************
typedef struct 
{
  int note;
  int beats;
}Note_Beats;
//**************************



//***********************************************
//***************Song list***********************
//***********************************************

//********When The Saints Go Marching In*********
#define NumberOfBeats_Saints 16
const Note_Beats Saints[NumberOfBeats_Saints] = { {C6, 1}, {E6, 1}, {F6, 1}, {G6, 5},      {C6, 1}, {E6, 1}, {F6, 1}, {G6, 5},       {C6, 1}, {E6, 1}, {F6, 1}, {G6, 2}, {E6, 2}, {C6, 2}, {E6, 2}, {D6, 5} };
//***********************************************  
  
//**************Choose Song Here*****************
#define NumberOfBeats = NumberOfBeats_Saints
const Note_Beats Song = Saints;
//***********************************************

I guess my #define should'nt have that '=' there, I have taken it out but that is not the issue still

You don't use = in macros ... well I suppose you could in theory some place, but not the way you're doing it. Macros are text substitution. Wherever it sees 'NumberOfBeats', it replaces that with '= NumberOfBeats_Saints'.

Yer my fault lol, I used to have const ints instead of the #defines and I left the = in there

Any ideas guys???

Any ideas what? What's your problem now? Make a small functional program and explain what you mean to do, versus what's happening.

Edit: Actually, pick one thread, not two. You have two going for the same topic.
