Due tomorrow. Almost done. Couple of q's on some errors.

Alright, seems my program is running alright. If only I could get some of these errors cleared up.

strcpy(temp3, sec[j - 1];
strcpy(sec[j - 1], sec[j]);
strcpy(sec[j], temp3);

cannot convert int to const char *
type mismatch in parameter
mismatch in call

I don't have const written in my call or my function declaration or in the actual function. So why would this be. I did have const everywhere but I deleted it. If I were to copy the program and rename it would it then work? If so does anyone know why this occurs?

* What is temp3 defined as?
* What is sec defined as?

**clueless** · 11-13-2001

char sec[MAX_COL]
temp is what I am using to sort sec

I assume you mean that temp3 is just a standard char:

Code:

char temp3;

If you are trying to manipulate the individual charaters in an array of char's then you must treat them as individual char's. Simple assignment should be used here, not strcpy.

Code:

temp3 = sec[j - 1]; 
sec[j - 1] = sec[j]; 
sec[j] = temp3;

david's right, when you want to put a string onto another strcpy() is what you need, but to just assign a particular value from that array, an equals sign is all you need.
