Question:

I've made an array and now I'm trying to compare first symbols of two strings and if it's true to print that word. But I got a problem:

<blockquote>

Incompatible types in assignmentof "int" to "char"[20]"

</blockquote>

Here is the code:

for ( wordmas= 0; i < character; i++ ) { do { if (!strncmp(wordmas[i], character, 1) } puts (wordmas[i]); }

Maybe you guys could help me?

There are several issues with your code:

<ul><li>You do not need strncmp to compare the first character - all you need is a simple == or !=.</li> <li>Using a do without a while is a syntax error; you do not need a nested loop to solve your problem.</li> <li>character is used to limit the progress of i in the outer loop, and also to compare to the first character of a word in wordmas[i]. This is very likely a mistake.</li> <li>Assuming that wordmas is an array, assigning to wordmas in the loop header is wrong.</li> </ul>

The code to look for words that start in a specific character should look like this:

char wordmas[20][20]; ... // read 20 words into wordmas char ch = 'a'; // Look for all words that start in 'a' // Go through the 20 words in an array for (int i = 0 ; i != 20 ; i++) { // Compare the first characters if (wordmas[i][0] == ch) { ... // The word wordmas[i] starts in 'a' } }
