Why can't I assign arrays as &a = &b?

Question

I have a problem assigning an array like: ``` int a[]; int b[] = {1,2,3}; &a = &b; ``` I know I could use pointers but I want to try it that way...

Accepted Answer

You can't assign arrays in C. You can copy them with the `memcpy()` function, declared in `<string.h>`:

```
int a[3];
int b[] = {1,2,3};

memcpy(&a, &b, sizeof a);
```
