Answer / pradeep

Dear frd,

char a[20];
a="Hello Orcale Test";

Here you are trying to "assign" constant char string to
address variable , as you are aware that name of an array
points to the first address of the array element. So here
you wil get an error message saying L value is required.

and also
char *a;
*a="hello" ; also will give an error as you are trying to
assign constant characters to char type variable.
Type mismatch will occur.

so I suggest you to use the strcpy method to copy a
constant character string to char*

so soln is
char a[20];
strcpy(a,"hello world");

or char *a;
a="hello";

Answer / vignesh1988i

the above variable 'a' is a character array , so i would not been wrong if it has been initilized on the same line.....
but they have done that in the next line , there lies the mistake... THIS PROGRAM WILL GIVE AN ERROR why because we cant copy the entire string in a single travel by using '='(assignment) operator unless it's an initilization directly/.....

thank u
