Thread: does s[i] = s[j]?

having trouble with array elements.

Code:

i = 0;
j = 0;

s[i] = 'a';
s[j] = 'b';

can these above statements exist? can s[i] be different from s[j] even though they stand in the same array element 0? im working on a k&r exercise and was a little confused.

[B]No. That code is the same as this.

Code:

s[0]='a';
s[0]='b';

so basically the 2nd statement will overwrite the first.
