    Declaring array ..

    I would like to know if it is possible to store one string and one integer in a array ??

    like i would like to store

    "john" "45"
    "darwin" "56"
    "felicious" "20"

    in an array. Is that possible ???

    Code:
    char *array[] = {
      "john", "45",
      "darwin", "56",
      "felicious", "20"
    };
    Of course, a better way to maintain grouping would be to use a structure:
    Code:
    struct s {
      char string[SIZE];
      int integer;
    };
    
    struct s array[] = {
      { "john", 45 },
      { "darwin", 56 },
      { "felicious", 20 }
    };
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    May i know whats wrong with this code ?? There isn't any error while compiling. But when i try to build the file that time, it display the following error


    "Linking...
    prac3a.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _punctuationx
    Debug/prac3a.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
    Error executing link.exe."

    Code:
    struct s {
      char string[10];
      int integer;
    };
    
    
    struct s reservedx[];
    
    void hello()
    {
    	for(i=0; i <= 8; i++)
    	{
       reservedx[i].integer=0;
       strcpy(reservedx[i].string,"hello");
    	}
    }
