Thread: Passing argument of 'sprintf' makes pointer from integer without a cast.

Code:

char type, letters[4], digits[5];
char l_plates[M][N];

for (i=0; i<M; i++) {
    scanf(" %c", &type);
    scanf("%3s", letters); 
    scanf("%4s", digits); 
    sprintf(l_plates[i][N], "%s %s %c", letters, digits, type);
}

Can someone please explain to me why this isn't compiling and how to fix it?
I'm getting:

warning: passing argument 1 of 'sprintf' makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]
note: expected 'char * __restrict__ ' but argument is of type 'char'.

PS: I have included <stdio.h> and <string.h>, this is only part of the code.

You probably meant to pass l_plates[i] rather than l_plates[i][N] as the first argument to sprintf.
