HERP!!!!

[Lasitha]

  j=palabrarandom();
  strcpy(pala,pal[j]);//Copies word selected randomly to pala

When I compile, i get the following msg:

passing arg 2 of `strcpy' makes pointer from integer without a cast


>< I can't figure out what's wrong, plz help me!!!!

I know this will get said sooner or later but to hell with that.

Do your own homework.

[Lasitha]

Im trying to Elcura, this is why Im asking for help. My programming teacher hasn't arrived and no one knows what's wrong with it. Thus why I sought help here.

[Raineer]

It looks like a circular reference to me, but christ I don't even know what language you are programming in.

C++,,VB,Pascal,jesuslolomz it all runs together too much >_<

[Janice]

I'm no fishing expert, but I don't think Strcpy can be caught using Integer bait. I don't know how much Integer costs, but I think you might as well bite the bullet and cast your line and find out.

[Daahan]

try yelling at it

[Lasitha]

it's plain and simple C -.- forgot to mention sorry.

[Sekkite]

I know this will get said sooner or later but to hell with that.

Do your own homework.

You can't say that unless you've never asked for help on your own work, ever.

[divisortheory]

Would help if you posted more of the program. I don't even know what type that array pal is declared as, or what type pala is.

Well I didn't include the code cuz most is in spanish and I figured it wouldn't help if you couldn't understand but uh... commands are same no matter language so maybe you can help.

[divisortheory]

lol i didn't want the whole program. just the declarations of those 2 variables.

char pala[101]; //Palabra a encontrar 
char pal[101]; 

...

char aleatorio()//Elige una palabra aleatoriamente 
{ 
  int j; 
  char pal[101] = {"mundo", "vertiente", "programa", "casa", "tarjeta", "cosa", 
        "computadora", "programacion", "", "monitor", "mina", "parka", 
        "scanner", "nieve", "powpow", "carrete", "ventana", "chao", 
        "hola", "tarro", "mueble", "bicicleta", "chile", "hola", 
        "musica", "pantalon", "juegos", "poker", "teclado", "auto"}; 

  j=palabrarandom(); 
  strcpy(pala,pal[j]);//Copia palabra a encontrar en pala 
}//aleatorio

The call to strcpy is using the global variable pal. Change the function aleatorio to be something like this:

char aleatorio()//Elige una palabra aleatoriamente 
{ 
  int j; 
  char pal_local[101] = {"mundo", "vertiente", "programa", "casa", "tarjeta", "cosa", 
        "computadora", "programacion", "", "monitor", "mina", "parka", 
        "scanner", "nieve", "powpow", "carrete", "ventana", "chao", 
        "hola", "tarro", "mueble", "bicicleta", "chile", "hola", 
        "musica", "pantalon", "juegos", "poker", "teclado", "auto"}; 

  j=palabrarandom(); 
  strcpy(pala,pal_local[j]);//Copia palabra a encontrar en pala 
}//aleatorio

Also there is another syntax error which I don't really know why it's compiling at all. it should be

  char* pal_local[101] = {"mundo", "vertiente", "programa", "casa", "tarjeta", "cosa", 
        "computadora", "programacion", "", "monitor", "mina", "parka", 
        "scanner", "nieve", "powpow", "carrete", "ventana", "chao", 
        "hola", "tarro", "mueble", "bicicleta", "chile", "hola", 
        "musica", "pantalon", "juegos", "poker", "teclado", "auto"};

[Lasitha]

I tried that and it still gave me the same error

[divisortheory]

I just compiled the following code successfully:

void f()
{
	int j=5;
	char* pal_local[101] = {"mundo", "vertiente", "programa", "casa", "tarjeta", "cosa", 
        "computadora", "programacion", "", "monitor", "mina", "parka", 
        "scanner", "nieve", "powpow", "carrete", "ventana", "chao", 
        "hola", "tarro", "mueble", "bicicleta", "chile", "hola", 
        "musica", "pantalon", "juegos", "poker", "teclado", "auto"}; 
	char pala[101];
	strcpy(pala, pal_local[j]);
}

Are you sure you went through the correct procedure to rebuild the C file into the obj file and everything? Put some junk code that earlier up in the file that you know will fail for a different reason, then recompile and see if it gives you a different error. Just so that you can check if the compiler is even using the correct code. Then copy/paste the function above into your file and see if it works, because I just tested it on my computer and that function worked fine.

[Lasitha]

the whole problem was that stupid asterisk. Ty Divisortheory, u just saved my grade.

void print_monito(int v) //Imprime el monito

This looks like it prints a melee Redmage. Your program fails.

[Lasitha]

its a hangman

[Coco]

(" ______ \n |")(" _L_")("\n |")(" /o o\\")("\n |")(" \\___/")("\n |")(" |")("\n |")(" --+")("--")("\n |")(" |")("\n |")(" /")(" \\")

This looks like it prints a melee Redmage. Your program fails.

No, it's obviously supposed to be someone dancing, but putting it in SMART PEOPLE SPEAK messed it up. Here, allow me to translate.
