Im trying to copy a char array to a bidimensional char array, but i keep getting this error message: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Werror=int-conversion].

It's weird because they're both char arrays of both 20 "slots"

Here is my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int entrada(char arg);
void procesado(int input);


char txt[20];
int prodAlm, prodPan, prodFre, prodBaz, prodDes;
char prodAlmLiq[2000][20];
char prodBazLiq[2000][20];

int main(){

    while(1){
        procesado(entrada(0));
    }

    return 0;

}

int entrada(char arg){
    int res;

    switch(arg){
        case 0:
            printf("Ingrese el codigo del producto: ");
            scanf("%d", &res);
            return res;

            break;
        case 1:
            printf("Ingrese el codidigo del producto: (max. 12 caract.)");
            scanf("%s", txt);
            return 0;

            break;
        case 2:
            printf("Ingrese el valor del producto: $");
            scanf("%d", &res);
            return res;

            break;
        case 3:
            printf("!!Ingrese una descripcion breve (max. 12 caract.): !! [NOT WORKING, INPUT ANY NUMBER]");
            scanf("%s", txt);
            return 0;

            break;
        case 4:
            printf("Ingrese el stock disponible: ");
            scanf("%d", &res);
            return res;

            break;
        case 5:
            printf("Ingrese la cantidad en gondolas disponible: ");
            scanf("%d", &res);
            return res;

            break;
        default:
            if (arg == 'u'){
                printf("Saliendo...");
                return res;

            } else {
                printf("Ingrese una opcion correcta!\n\r");
            }
            break;
    }

    return 0;

}


void procesado(int input){
    static int countAL, countBL;
    static int returning = 0;
    float tmp;

    if (input == 'u'){
        //returning = 1;;
        
    }

    if (!returning){
        switch(input){
        case 10:
            prodPan  ;
            break;
        case 20:

            tmp = (float) prodAlmLiq[countAL 2][0];

        break;
    }
    printf("----------------------------------------\n\r           Producto Agregado!\n\r----------------------------------------");
    }
    
}

errors ocurr at 98,35 and 115,35.

code is not finished yet, but i wont keep going until i can solve that error.

Thanks for helping!

CodePudding user response：

right here

prodAlmLiq[countAL   2][0] = txt; 

the left side is a char, the right side is a char*

its not clear what you are actually trying to do though. Maybe you want to copy the string in txt to prodAlmliq[countAL ]

if so

   strcpy( prodAlmLiq[countAL   2] , txt);   

is what you need

CodePudding user response：

The implicated lines are

            prodAlmLiq[countAL 2][0] = txt;

and the similar

            prodBazLiq[countBL 2][0] = txt;

prodAlmLiq and prodBazLiq are each defined as a char[2000][20], so in each case, the item being assigned is a single char. For its part, txt is defined as a char[20], so it does not make sense to try to assign it to a single char. The error message reflects the fact that the txt array is automatically converted to a pointer in this context (as in most others), and although C permits that to be converted onward to a char, that's very unlikely to be what you really wanted, and standard C in any case requires a cast to perform that conversion.

My best guess is that you want to copy the contents of txt into corresponding elements of the big arrays. supposing that txt contains a null-terminated string, you would use strcpy for that. Example:

                strcpy(prodAlmLiq[countAL 2], txt);
