Problem with assigning variables

[liemliem2]

Hello all, I would just like to find out why is it that when I try to assign the string "hello" to the variable myarray[1][0].mystring, the string "hello" gets assigned to both myarray[1][0].mystring and myarray[0][6].mystring?

myarray is from the struct array.

Thanks very much for any help!

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;
const int ROWS=50;
const int COLS=6;

struct array
{
	string mystring;
	int myint;
	int tracker;
};

int main(void)
{
	struct array myarray[ROWS][COLS];
	myarray[1][0].mystring="hello";
	cout<<myarray[1][0].mystring<<"\n";
	cout<<myarray[0][6].mystring<<"\n";
	return 0;
}

You set a value to myarray, but print out values from myarray2. So the program should not have compiled.

Oops, I accidentally left it there when I was shortening the code for this forum. I've now removed it. The error still remains.

It still doesn't compile - so how are you saying it prints "hello". I don't see how you can claim it does.

Did you have any compiler errors / warnings. It might be instructive to read them

A 6 in the second index is out of bounds, which happens to overflow into the next row (namely into element [1][0]).
