Struct and Strings in C

[Ash maker]

Hello,
I have this following code and when I try to compile the code, the compiler gives me an error
Here is what i try to do

# <stdio.h>
Stdlib.h

struct Play{
    int sp;
    chariot nm[100];
};
typedef struct Play Play;

int hand(){
    Play ptest={0,""};
    ptest.sp=1;
    ptest.nm="Matthew";
    printf("Order Number:% d\ NPlayer Name:% s\ N",ptest.sp,ptest.nm);
    return 0;
}

Please check my code if you find any errors then guide me with the correct code. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
If I am not wrong the string type does not exist in C.
Here is what i am trying to explain

ptest.name="Matthew";

To copy a string of characters into another character string, use the function strcpy.

int hand(){
    Play ptest={0,""};
    ptest.sp=1;
    ptest.nm="Matthew";
    printf("Order Number:% d\ NPlayer Name:% s\ N",ptest.sp,ptest.nm);
    return 0;
}

Please correct your code and then try to compile the program. I hope this solution works.

Hello,
Take a look at the following code

Player ptest={0,""}; / / Struct
    ptest.name="Matthew"; / / No right

I think this is what you have mistaken in your code. If you make the necessary changes in your code, then I guess the code will work properly.

Player ptest={1,"Matthew"};

That's right this is what I am taking about, the above line in your code should be changed.

Hello,
There is no type string in C. There are only literal strings "test" Which have a type Table N Where N is the length of the chain, including '\0' Final (So "test" is type Table 7 chariot.).
So, we can write it as

printf("Hello, world\ N");

and in this case the string is a static array anonymous, and it is implicitly converted to a pointer to its first element under the pointer conversion tables (which fell much since the prototype printf is int printf (const char *...). Hope this information will help you.

Hello,
I agree with the above post, we can also write it as

char t[64] = Hello;

and in this case, the string literal is used as initializer array. However, we have no right to write

chariot t[64]; t = Hello;

because in this case, as with printf the string is a static array anonymous, and it is implicitly converted to a pointer to its first element under the pointer conversion tables, and we have no right to assign a pointer to an array.
But we can define in this alternative way

char *p; p = Hello;

since p is a pointer, and Hello is implicitly converted to pointer.

Hello,
Hence the "" "" around "" string type "(as heard, an array of floats of course). By replacing the "ptest.name =..." by "strcpy (ptest.name,"name");" it works well. Thanks you guys for helping me. Also, if there is an another solution for doing the same then I am the interested one here. So, if you have some alternate examples then please let me know or post them, so that I can study the sample codes.
