Error C2040

[AlexC]

I'm learning programming. This program is in C, it's a simple program, but I don't know how to fix this error C2040. Error is on lines 7 & 8.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int n = 0;
char Q[8];
char *H, *T;
H = Q; //error line
T = Q;// error line

int main(){
	int choice;
	//int count = 0;
	
menu:
	printf("1 EnQ\n 2 DeQ\n 3 Print\n 4 Exit\n");
	scanf("%d", &choice);
	switch(choice){
		case 1:{ 
			EnQ();
			goto menu;
			   }
		case 2:{
			DeQ();
			goto menu;
			   }
		case 3:{
			Print();
			goto menu;
			   }
		case 4:
			return 0;
	}
	return 0;
}

Was there a text error message that accompanied error C2040?

It's because you can't place operators outside of functions.

It's because you can't place operators outside of functions.

Not precisely true, you can't place statements outside of functions. You can place the = operator (and others) outside of functions as part of an initialisation expression.

char *H = Q;    // Fine
