Thread: For Loop Error "error: expected identifier or '(' before '[' token"

I am receiving this error various times

..\src\using-gpib_dll.c:97:18: error: expected identifier or '(' before '[' token

The problem appears to reside inside my for loop:

Code:

for (loop = 0; loop < 30; loop++)
   {
      Instruments[loop] = (Addr4882_t)(loop + 1);
   }

For some reason, 'Instruments[loop]' is not being detected as the declared array (see attached code). Did I declare it wrong?

Thank you for any help.

We do not declare arrays with typedef.Actually nothing is been declared with typedef.typedef gives you a synonimous for the other word.
A declaration of an array looks like this

Code:

int instruments[31];

I think that you have a problem with how the variable is being declared

look at typedef tutorial

This did the trick, thanks!
