Thread: Doubt regarding C structures and arrays. Quick suggestions please

I have a doubt regarding C pointers, structures and arrays.

Code:

I have a structure
typedef nx_struct DataMsg {
nx_uint16_t destID;
nx_uint16_t sourceID;
nx_uint16_t valueReported[100];
} DataMsg;

I have a variable named a .

Code:

a[100] ={100 values}

I have a pointer created for a datapkt

Code:

DataMsg* datapkt = (DataMsg*) (call RadioPacket.getPayload(&radiopkt, NULL));

i need to set the array of the structure to the value of a

isnt this right

Code:

datapkt->valueReported = a; ?

Gives me an error saying , invalid lvalue in assignment

The data types mentioned above are similar to regular int

An explanation would be good as well.
