Assigning Values in Structs

OK, I've managed to iron out all the bugs in my code, except for in the following code:

Code:

---

typedef struct
{
        char surname[20];
        char name[15];
        int addLevel = 1;
        int subLevel = 1;
        int correct = 0;
        int wrong = 0;
        int correctSession = 0;
        int wrongSession = 0;
} USER;

---

Which returns the following errors:

Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 10 Syntax error; missing semicolon before `='
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 10 skipping `=' `1'
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 11 Syntax error; missing semicolon before `='
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 11 skipping `=' `1'
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 12 Syntax error; missing semicolon before `='
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 12 skipping `=' `0'
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 13 Syntax error; missing semicolon before `='
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 13 skipping `=' `0'
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 14 Syntax error; missing semicolon before `='
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 14 skipping `=' `0'
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 15 Syntax error; missing semicolon before `='
Error "c:\lee's folder\school files\cse1301\iproject\main.c": 15 skipping `=' `0'

So, I'm guessing that this means I can't assign values to struct members during declaration. Is there an easy way around this, or am I going to have to do this the hard way?

Thanks in advance,

If it was C++ that you were using you could've used a contructor function in the structure for assignment of initial values.

I think there's no such alternative in C, so "you'll have to do it the hard way" ;)

i.e. once you declare a variable of type USER you'll have to initialize each and every member variable separately.

or as under;

USER no1 = {"name","sirname",1,1,0,0,0};

OK, well thanks anyway.

Ah well. At least I won't make the same mistake again...
