Question

here is a code sample

void something()
{
   char c[100];
   scanf("%s",c);
   char c2[100]=c;
}

my problem is when i do this assignment an error says that i can't assign

char * "c"  to char[] "c2";

how can i achieve this assignment?

Answer 1

You'll have to use strcpy() (or similar):

...  
char c2[100];
strcpy(c2, c);

You can't assign arrays using the = operator.
