I think you have syntax error


check your declaration....


if you are using strings,then you cannot declar it with character (char). you should declar it as a string .








also check if have written #include%26lt;string%26gt; on the top of the program..


for example:





#include%26lt;stdio.h%26gt; //this is for printf ans scanf -as you should know-





#include%26lt;string%26gt; // this one is for the string cause you are using it.





the when you declare..use for example


string alpabet ; ((or any name that you declare))





good luck!!

Exactly what error are you getting? It all depends on what you declared and how you are modifying it. Remember that a string array is really an array of char *. You have to dereference those pointers before assigning values.
Reply:it would help to see the code where the error is occouring, but, it sounds like you are trying to pass a char pointer when only a char is required OR you are trying to pass a char when a char pointer is required.
