delclaring and using struct

[matteus]

Code: Select all

typedef struct {
    char Name[24];
    char Job[25];
    char Specialism[18];
} Expert;

struct Expert Experts[6];
strcpy(Experts[0].Name, "David Barby");
strcpy(Experts[0].Job, "Expert Independent Valuer");
strcpy(Experts[0].Specialism, "Pottery");

I wanted to check I was doing this correctly? There seems to be several errors though

You don't need to put "struct" in front of the type if you used a typedef:

Expert Experts[6]; // Would be fine

Everything else looks valid. Are you running into a problem with this? I think SGDK has a strcpy so that should work. Be careful though as C standard libraries use null terminated strings. You are actually writing a 26 byte array into Job[25]. Likely with your code an attempt to draw/print Experts[0].Job would print "Expert Independent ValuerPottery" due to the null char '\0' being overridden by the P, but I didn't test it myself.

Cheers, I realised I'd not made the char lengths long enough
