Thread: lvalue required error

code below is showing lvalue required error. why is it? how can it be corrected?

Code:

 char c[10];
c='!';

You can't assign to an array in the manner you are attempting. In your code, c is the array and in the above context represents the address of the array on the stack. This can't be changed by assigning a new value to it as it is fixed when the program is executed. You probably wanted something more like this:

Code:

c[0] = '!';

The above code assign a char to a specific element/position within the array.
