Thread: Im having a wired cast error.. HELP!

The error is below where there is an arrow describing the issue thank you for your time.

int x;

main()

struct databse {
char cust_num;
char name[20];
int address;
char city[20];

char RecCust[75];
struct databse customer;
customer.cust_num = x;
customer.address = 1234;
customer.name;
customer.city;
customer.state;


strcpy(RecCust,cust_num); <------- THIS WILL NOT ACCEPT AN IN HOWEVER I TRIED (CHAR)CUST_NUM, ALSO CHAR(CUST_NUM) BUT I GET AN ERROR.

strcpy(customer.name, "Name");
strcpy(customer.city, "City");
strcpy(customer.state, "State");

Database.cust_num is a single char which can store values only from -128 to +127

If you want to get this extremely limited customer number out of the record you need to use:

Code:

int RecCust;

RecCust = customer.cust_num;

Either that or redefine your struct to something more sensible. I'm thinking you're going to want more than an int to store their address.

Your cust_num is a char? Is that what you want it to be, really? Char's have a very small range.

Somehow, I expected to see a pic of a broken arm in a wired cast, instead of a plaster one.

That's because you cannot strcpy() an integer.

You are going to need sprintf() for that.
