    Assigning One dimensional array to two dimensional array

    Hi Guys,

    is it allowed to to like this:

    char a[10] = "Lizard";
    char b[2][5];
    b[0][0] = a[0];
    b[0][1] = a[1]; etc?

    Thank you.

    Yes, you're basically assigning one char variable to another, except that they are elements of arrays.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
