foo char [20];

[looky]

Hi there I am trying to follow the tutorial for char arrays however when I type


foo char [20];

foo

(no holding boxes beneath)

I don't get the square holding boxes would someone be kind enough to help please...

[Arslan7041]

What do you mean by "holding boxes" ?

[Moschops]

Do you mean that the picture of boxes on this page

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/arrays/

doesn't appear?

The type of the array elements goes first.

char foo[20];

Hi thanks guys

yes moschops that's what I mean I having real trouble learning the different char variations for instance

char a;
a= 2;

does not build or run.

[Moschops]

Build a complete C++ program. What you're looking at on that page isn't a complete program.

int main()
{
  char a;
  a = 'x';
}
