Thread: storing a string of binary into an array

My advice would be to slow down and read your textbook or whatever reference you are using from the beginning. Understand basic concepts before moving on. You seem to post the same thing over and over to various programming forums occasionally throwing random syntax in here and there.

Before attempting to manipulate a 2D array, you should at least know how to make one. So back up at least to there. You can't assign a string, you need to do a string copy (that may sound familiar).

Do as Dave said.because you lack in basics.
A C programme starts from main().You have'nt called any function in it.Your functions will not execute.
Am pretty sure your next post will be

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
char store;
char ascitobinary();
char storeInArray(char a[]);

int main(void){
ascitobinary();
storeInArray(char a[]);
}


char ascitobinary(){

     char	x ;
     int 	y;
     printf("Input a word to transmit: " );
     scanf("%c",&x);
     for(y = 0; y < sizeof(char) * 15; y++){
           store=(( x & (1 << y) ) ? '1' : '0' );
           puts("");
      }

    return 0;
}

char storeInArray(char a[]){

	char string1[] =store;
	char string2[15];

	strcpy(string2, string1);


}

So plz read a text book.

Code:

char store;

store is a single character, it is not an array.

Code:

for(y = 0; y < sizeof(char) * 15; y++){
           store=(( x & (1 << y) ) ? '1' : '0' );
           puts("");
      }

You continually overwrite this character with values, eventually ending up with it being a '1' or a '0'. But you probably wanted this to automagically concatenate a string that you did not declare.

Code:

char string1[] =store;

Here one might guess that you are trying to copy the automagically concatatenated non-string from above into this local not-quite-a-string.

Code:

	char string2[15];

	strcpy(string2, string1);

And here you seem to blindly shove more syntax at the compiler in hopes that it will read your mind and execute the "do what I mean" instuction.

Nowhere in this code is a 2D array even declared.
