Thread: Array problem

Ok I want to make an array to hold a name, char name2[12]; or int name[12] should have made me an array but when I type name[1]=3; for example, it comes up with alot of errors, should I use a string? I tried the same things with a string but the same errors came up.

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
struct database

{

int id_number;

int age;

float salary;

int name[12];

char name2[12];

};

int main()

{

database employee;

employee.age=22;

employee.id_number=19;

employee.salary=12000;

cout<<"ID NUMBER :"<<employee.id_number<<endl;
cout<<"Age :"<<employee.age<<endl;
cout<<"salary earned :"<<employee.salary<<endl;

return 0;

}

You can use the strcpy function to copy a string into a character array:

Code:

#include <string.h>
strcpy(employee.name2, "Monster");

Or just use a string:

Code:

#include <string>
string name2; 
name2 = "Monster";

It doesn;t work! Sorry but your code seems to bring up the same errors.

It works but I don;t know why, when typing in it doesn;t compile but copy and paste works!
