Thread: pointers, structures, and malloc

Code:

 hdr1 = {"a","b","c"};

. I got this straight out of a book.

I haven't carefully read the address part yet, so I won't speak to that yet -- maybe later. But what your book did say was

Code:

hdr1 = {'a', 'b', 'c'};

which is not quite what you tried.

Edit: Well, I suppose I should say that what works is using 'characters' and not "strings"; without looking at your book maybe it's a misprint.
