Thread: Newb Question - Cant convert Char[41] to Char

Hi All,

I am new to this forum and to C++ programming. But still I have managed my program to error .

Can someone tell me what is wrong with this code?!

Code:

void main()
{
	char User[UserMaxLength];
	print_header();
	User = get_user();
	printf("%s@!localhost [#]", User);
	return;
}

char get_user()
{
	char Temp[UserMaxLength];
	scanf("Gebruikersnaam: %s", &Temp);
	return Temp;
}

The error I get is:

Code:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\Kernel\KK006b\KK006b.cpp(16) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'char' to 'char [41]'
        There are no conversions to array types, although there are conversions to references or pointers to arrays
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\Kernel\KK006b\KK006b.cpp(31) : error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'char [41]' to 'char'
        This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast

Any help would be greatly appreciated
