    I wrote the code, but codeblocks didn't compile anything...?

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<string.h>
    
    
    
    
    main()
    
    
    {
    
    
    char Kid1[12];
    char Kid2[] = "Maddie";
    char Kid3[7]= "Andrew";
    char Hero1= "Batman";
    char Hero2[34]= "Spiderman";
    char Hero3[25];
        Kid1[0] = 'K';
        Kid1[1] = 'a';
        Kid1[2] = 't';
        Kid1[3] = 'i';
        Kid1[4] = 'e';
        Kid1[5] = '\0';
    
    
        strcpy(Hero3, "the incredible HULK");
    
    
        printf("%s\'s favorite hero is %s.\n", Kid1, Hero1);
        printf("%s\'s favorite hero is %s.\n", Kid2, Hero2);
        printf("%s\'s favorite hero is %s.\n", Kid3, Hero3);
    
    
        return 0;
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    }
    I wrote that in and it did run and compile. But the screen was just black? Was that suppose to happen? I am using codeblocks...

    You need to turn warnings on.

    Code:
    char Hero1= "Batman";
    How many characters can Hero1 hold?

    What do you mean by "warnings"? Also, I fixed the character count for hero1 and it compiled the way it should have. Thanks!

    You might wanna look at a few resources to learn more about warnings.

    Here are a few good ones:
