[code:61fba]error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value[/code:61fba]

Someone tell me what that means, it's driving me insane. How do I fix it

[Ragewar16]

need more info. What are you trying to code? Can you post the code?

[KTOG]

maybe you have something like this

a + b = c ;

or you always could be forgetting a semi colin?

cethin = noob

You ve got the wrong thing on the left side of the = sign ...
I found this on about.com ...


[code:315c0]
int x;

x = 5; // This is fine, 5 is an rvalue, x can be an lvalue.
5 = x; // This is illegal. A literal constant such as 5 is not
// addressable. It cannot be a lvalue.

Sec I'll post the code that I'm trying to do

[code:a272b]for (count = 0; count < 5; count++)
game_dice1[count] = set_dice1[count];
[/code:a272b]

game_dice1 & set_dice1 is declared as:
[code:a272b]char game_dice1[5][10];
char set_dice1[5][10] = {"///////",
"/ /",
"/ * /",
"/ /",
"///////",
};[/code:a272b]

and of course count is:
[code:a272b]int count;[/code:a272b]

post the problem

[[WaffenSS]Cethin]

I just did Judas

the game_dice1[count] = set_dice1[count]; is one of the problems.

Basically what the error means, from my understanding, is that game_dice1 is not a valid variable to accept set_dice1 even when they both have the same declaration within my function.

There's your problem Judas.

[Judas]

here ya go ... this code will first set game_dice1 to set_dice1 then print game_dice1 .... this might help you out some...

[code:36537]

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
int i;
int j;


char game_dice1[5][7] = {"", "", "", "", ""};
char set_dice1[5][7] = {"///////",
"/ /",
"/ * /",
"/ /",
"///////"};
// loop through the rows
for (j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
// loop through the cols
for (i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
// set row and col of game_dice to set_dice
game_dice1[j][i] = set_dice1[j][i];
}
}

for (j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
for (i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
cout << game_dice1[j][i];
}
cout << endl;
}
return 0;
}

Hmm...hold on I have an idea

[Pyro]

buy C++ for dummies.

I'd consider rewriting the whole thing into a class. OOP is powerfull stuff cethin.
