Thread: whats wrong with this

Hi, Can someone please enlighten me as to what is wrong with this code.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{

struct virus{
char signature[25];
char status[25];
int size;
}v[2]={
"Yankee Doodle","Deadly",1813,
"Dark Avenger","Killer",1795
};
int i;
for(i=0;i<2;i++){
printf("\n&#37;s %s\n\n",v.signature,v.status);
}
return 0;
}

Output:

Code:

gcc -Wall c.c -o c
c.c: In function ‘main’:
c.c:10: warning: missing braces around initializer
c.c:10: warning: (near initialization for ‘v[0]’)
c.c:15: error: request for member ‘signature’ in something not a structure or union
c.c:15: error: request for member ‘status’ in something not a structure or union

Exactly what the compiler says:

Code:

request for member ‘signature’ in something not a structure or union

refers to the fact that v.signature is trying to get something called signature out of an array of struct virus v[2].

It is also correct that:

Code:

missing braces around initializer

Edit: I suppose since the OP removed all the content of his/her post, we could delete this thread, as it's pretty meaningless by now.

you don't include the array reference in line 15, which should be:

Code:

printf("\n%s %s\n\n",v[i].signature,v[i].status);

witness the use of [i].
