Thread: help about error: lvalue required left operand assignment c

Hi all,
I am working with complex number and using fftw library ( FFTW Home Page ) to compute fft of some data. But when I am compiling my following simple piece of code , I am getting the above mentioned error.

Code:

#define re(c) ((c)[0])		///< real part of a complex number  as defined by fftw_complex in fftw 
#define im(c) ((c)[1])
#include <fftw3.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

unsigned int fs = 16367600;	
double fif = 4.1304E6;
double range = fif;		
double span = 10E3;		
double fd_step = 500;	
double Tint = 1;
 unsigned int l,C1,D1;		
int main()
{
            C1 = ceil((double) fs * 1E-3);
    	    D1 = ceil(span / fd_step) + 1;
            
            SUM_SS = (fftw_complex *) fftw_malloc(sizeof(fftw_complex) * C1 * D1);
            if (SUM_SS == NULL) {
		fprintf(stderr, "Error allocationg memory fftw operations \n");
		
    	    }
    	    for (l = 0; l < C1 *D1; l++) {
		re(SUM_SS[l]) = 0.0;
		im(SUM_SS[l]) = 0.0;
   	    }
}

fftw_malloc behaves like malloc except that it properly aligns the array when SIMD instructions (such as SSE and Altivec) are available. The data is an array of type fftw_complex, which is by default a double[2] composed of the real (in[i][0]) and imaginary (in[i][1]) parts of a complex number.


The error is reported on line re(SUM_SS[l]) = 0.0; and im(SUM_SS[l]) = 0.0; and reported error is
error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

Please help me

Thanks

Sorry.... for error in posting the code

Code is :

double range = fif;		
double span = 10E3;		
double fd_step = 500;	
double Tint = 1;
 unsigned int l,C1,D1;	
fftw_complex *SUM_SS;
	
int main()
{
            C1 = ceil((double) fs * 1E-3);
    	    D1 = ceil(span / fd_step) + 1;
            
            SUM_SS = (fftw_complex *) fftw_malloc(sizeof(fftw_complex) * C1 * D1);
            if (SUM_SS == NULL) {

    	    }
    	    for (l = 0; l < C1 *D1; l++) {

		im(SUM_SS[l]) = 0.0;
   	    }
