Thread: Const Char and Char?

Hi, I'm rather new at C++ but I decided to go on and write 'a' program to see how far I could get. I got quite a while until I tried to do this:

Code:

class PlayerObject // The Object Representing the Player
{
	  public:
			 PlayerObject();
			 //Constructor
			 ~PlayerObject();
			 //Destructor
char EndReason[50]; //Value to set 'Reason of Endgame' to
};

*SNIP*
int main()
{
	PlayerObject Player1;
	Player1.EndReason[50] = "The games not finished yet";
}

But then when I compile It tells me that const char and char aren't compatible types...

So...

what's the difference between a Const Char and a normal Char, and why does it prohibit my program from working the way I want it to?
