initializer-string for array of chars is too long error
blackjack, c++
Solution
The string `"Diamonds"` has 9 characters including the null terminating character. Therefore, `name` must have at least 9 elements.
However, it looks like your `name` member should be called `suit` and vice versa.
Problem
I am working on a BlackJack Game using C++, and I have the following piece of code within it where I am getting an error ``` typedef struct { int value; char suit[8]; char name[8]; }Deck; Deck Cards[52] = {{ 1,"Ace","Hearts"},{ 2, "Two","Hearts"}, { 3, "Three", "Hearts"}, { 4, "Four","Hearts"}, { 5,"Five","Hearts"},{ 6,"Six", "Hearts06"}, { 7,"Seven","Hearts"},{ 8,"Eight","Hearts"},{ 9,"Nine","Hearts"},{ 10,"Ten","Hearts"},{10,"Jack","Hearts"},{10,"Queen","Hearts"},{10,"King","Hearts"}, { 1,"Ace","Clubs"},{2, "Two", "Clubs"},{3,"Three","Clubs"},{4,"Four","Clubs"},{5,"Five","Clubs"},{6,"Six","Clubs"},{7,"Seven","Clubs"},{8,"Eight","Clubs"}, { 9,"Nine","Clubs"},{10,"Ten","Clubs"},{10,"Jack","Clubs"},{10,"Queen","Clubs"},{10,"King","Clubs"}, { 1,"Ace","Diamonds"},{2,"Two","Diamonds"},{3,"Three","Diamonds"},{4,"Four","Diamonds"},{5,"Five","Diamonds"},{6,"Six","Diamonds"},{7,"Seven","Diamonds"}, { 8,"Eight","Diamonds"},{9,"Nine","Diamonds"},{10,"Ten","Diamonds"},{10,"Jack","Diamonds"},{10,"Queen","Diamonds"},{10,"King","Diamonds"}, { 1,"Ace","Spades"},{ 2,"Two","Spades"},{3,"Three","Spades"},{4,"Four","Spades"},{5,"Five","Spades"},{6,"Six","Spades"},{7,"Seven","Spades"}, { 8,"Eight","Spades"},{ 9,"Nine","Spades"},{10,"Ten","Spades"},{10,"Jack","Spades"},{10,"Queen","Spades"},{10,"King","Spades"}}; ``` The error is ``` Main.c:39:127: error: initializer-string for array of chars is too long [-fpermissive] ``` Line 39 is the last line in the code posted above Please help me in figuring out why the compiler is throwing an error
