looping Struct

[ivory willow]

In the below code I can't do this part charMem[i].charVal = s[i]; it shows "assignment to ‘char *’ from ‘char’ makes pointer from integer without a cast". How to fix this issue? I want to print all characters of "delete" using struct. Thanks in advance

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

struct Characters
{
int count;
char* charVal;
};

int main() {
int totalValues = 7;
struct Characters *charMem = malloc(sizeof(struct Characters)*totalValues);

char s[] = "delete";
int slen = strlen(s);

for(int i=0;i<slen;i++) {
charMem[i].count = i;
charMem[i].charVal = s[i];
}

for(int i=0;i<5;i++) {
printf("count %d and charVal %s\n", charMem[i].count, charMem[i].charVal);
}

free(charMem);
return 0;
}

well thats fucked

[full harbor]

well first of all, you need to allocate memory for each of the struct Characters charVal to point to

[ivory willow]

I want to create a struct and add each character of string "whatever", is there any other way than what you mentioned

[full harbor]

you could just include the array in each struct

eg

struct Characters {
  int count;
  char charVal[100];
};```

[full harbor]

wait, i might be misunderstanding what you want

[ivory willow]

I changed it to array and did this
strcpy(per[i].charVal,s[i]);
it doesn't work but when I do strcpy(per[i].charVal,"k"); it works

[full harbor]

s[i] is a single character, not a string

are you trying to copy the entire string "delete" into each of the structs?

or just a single character?

[ivory willow]

I want this
count : 0,
char: d

count : 1,
char: e

count : 2,
char: l

etc...

[full harbor]

okay, if you only want a single character in each struct, then you shouldnt use the array or a pointer

just c struct Characters { int count; char charVal; };

that should work with your original code

[ivory willow]

yes that worked ! Thanks much!
