Thread: struct containing arrays.

Firstly sorry and apologize for this silly question

lets say I have this example(it's spontaneously) :

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
struct student {
        char name[15];}jay;
int main()
{
      jay.name="David";
      return 0;
}

I know there're errors in this code, and that's why I came for
Well, to put the value "david" into the struct's name , I must access it and I accessed the struct by using operator "."(see in line 5), and now why I must write

Code:

jay.name

, and not a

Code:

jay.name[15]

, I'm saying that because the variable here not name alone it's name[15], so I must define that while trying to accessing... , and that's all..thanks.
