Lvalue Required For Function Main

[MukeshL]

Hello Experts !!

I actually am wanting to practice on a 2 dimension char array. so, I am using the below program and getting the error - Lvalue Required For Function Main

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

char varStringArray[1][5];

int main(void)
{
clrscr();
varStringArray[0] = 'a';
printf("%c", varStringArray[0]);
return 0;
}

Please help.

Refer to Arrays Revealed. You define varStringArray with two dimensions, but then you only access it with one array index. The referenced article explains why this is a problem.

However, I would have expected a different error message. There may be something else wrong with your code that I don't see.
