… int exterint[5][5];
int exterint1[5]; … int **temp1; int *temp2; …. temp2=exterint1; //***** temp1 = exterint; //xxxxxxxxx “ERROR GIVING LINE” In the above case exterint1 will be pointing to the first element of the integer array, so it can be assigned to a integer pointer. So the assignment temp2=exterint1; is correct. While in case of exterint , it will be pointing to the first element to the first row , again its pointing to a integer not a pointer to the integer while temp1 is a pointer to the pointer to an integer. So the assignment temp1 = exterint gives an error.

For example like this give you same warning: int * temp1; int a; temp1 = a; Warrning:“assignment from incompatible pointer type This is correct if you do like below int *temp1 int exterint[5]; temp1 = exterint; Monday, December 24, 2007, 11:49:37 AM, you wrote: > Dear all: I write a program like below: #include<stdio.h> #include<stdlib.h> int exterint[5][5]; int exterint1[5]; int main(void){ int index0, index1; int **temp1; int *temp2; temp2=exterint1; //***** temp1 = exterint; //xxxxxxxxx ….. …..} The compiler will warn me that at line marked as xxxxx is “assignment from incompatible pointer type.” But “******” doesn’t get any warning. Is there any restriction about assigning multi-layer array or something about pointer I miss?
