Why do I get an error here?
(error: excess elements in char array initializer)Code:int move_tortoise[10] = {"1", "1", "1", "1", "1", "2", "2", "3", "3" "3"};

"" indicates a string. You are trying to put in integers, so ditch the quotes.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Because "1" is a character string (which is an array of two characters '1' and '\0' that are each integral values) not an integer. Lose the double quotes.
The missing comma near the end won't help, as the two strings "3" "3" will be concatenated to "33" which is an array of three characters.
Ok thank you =)
So which type do I use for an array with strings in it?
The missing comma was a mistake, but nevertheless, it's good to know that
Also, would you please tell me how I save the sum of two variables in one of these.
And now I want to save the sum of "a" and "b" in "a"Code:int a; int b;
I think
doesn't work...Code:a = a + b;

Hmm, I think the error is somewhere else, so I just post the whole loop.
Error code: "syntax error before "a""Code:switch(array[i]) { case 1 a = a + 3; case 2 a = a - 6; case 3 a = a + 1; }
This code should (as far as I know) add 3 to the variable "a" if array[i] == 1, substract 6 if array[i] == 2 and add 1 if array[i] == 3.
But I have a syntax error (as I already wrote) and I have no idea how to fix it...

You forgot the colons for the cases. Also, if you don't want fall through, remember to use break.

I am also just learning these things. You probably want to replace the double quotes with single quote and remove the 10 just have empty square brackets. But don't listen to me, need to check that I am telling you the right thing.
@laserlight: I'm sorry, I think I do not completely understand what you mean..
Ah, so you partially understand what I mean. What do you understand and which part do you not understand?

For ANSI or ASCII text you use char, for Unicode you use wchar_t;
Code:switch(array[i]) { case 1 : a = a + 3; break; case 2 : a = a - 6; break; case 3 a = a + 1; break; }
These things should be covered in your C textbooks and/or C Library documentation that matches your compiler. (the latter being a "must have" if you're even slightly serious about programming.)

That is not correct and has poor formatting. I might rewrite it as:
Anyway, Eizi, you can ignore my post #9 now since this was what I was hoping you would get on your own from my post #6. Of course, whether it is really what you set out to do is another matter as you have provided very little context.Code:switch (array[i]) { case 1: a += 3; break; case 2: a -= 6; break; case 3: ++a; break; }

Now THAT is beyond hypercritical... Really Lase... I'm thinking you need to get more sleep.
If you don't want feedback on your code, don't post code. At the moment, looking at your sample code, you clearly need to get more sleep

sorry for the late reply
ok thank you for the help
I didn't understand how I should exactly edit my code to fix the errors...
Anyway, thank you for your help
