Thread: I'm new to this

It's hard to say without seeing your code.

What do you mean by 'block' ?

Well yes, that isn't going to work.

Scope (computer science) - Wikipedia

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

char msg[] = "Unused";
int main()
{
    char msg[] = "hello";
    {
        char msg[] = "world";
        printf("Msg=%s\n",msg);  // The one at line 8
    }
    printf("Msg=%s\n",msg);  // The one at line 6
    return 0;
}

For each variable reference, the compiler works it's way back up the chain of nested scope blocks.

Why do you want to do that in the first place? Why not declare your variables near where you intend to use them?

If you're not sure what I mean, show your code and we could tell you how to better structure it. For example, quite obviously your example code in post #3 could have been written without the unnecessary inner code block:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char filling[] = "Kaya";
    printf("I have chosen %s\n",filling);

    return 0;
}

It may well be that you should declare the necessary variables before both pieces of code. Or perhaps these pieces of code are in different functions, in which case you need to declare appropriate parameters and pass corresponding arguments.

They're called functions.

Code:

void foo ( char *msg )
{
    strcpy(msg,"hello");
}

int main()
{
    char msg[10] = "";
    foo(msg);
    printf("Msg=%s\n",msg);
    return 0;
}
