Re: C String

Hey, I came up with this crazy idea... i want to learn to speak Danish.
I thought that by using a program I could teach myself the first thousand most commonly used wrords. The problem I'm having is assinging variables
to strings.
I understand a string is basically an array of characters... here's
what I first came up with...
char danWords[200][64],engWords[200][64];
//for loop i1 to 200
danwords[i]="lyserød";
engwords[i]="pink";
I knew the above wouldn't work, but I needed a starting point. I wound
up here, stumped...
char danWords[200][64],engWords[200][64];
//for loop i 1 to 200
scanf("lyserød",&danwords[i]);
scanf("pink",&engWords[i]);
How would you do this? Thanks!
Do you want to use muti-byte characters (e.g. unicode)? If so, you probably want to use a wchar string instead of a char string.
If these are static strings (not to be modified), your first idea would work if you just use a one dimensional array of pointers:
char* danWords[200];
char* engWords[200];
danwords[0]="lyserød";
engwords[0]="pink";
danwords[1]="xxx";
engwords[2]="etc..";
That would work.
What would I do? Probably use an array of structure:
struct {
char* eng;
char* dan;
} word[200];
word[0].eng="pink";
word[0].dan="lyserød";
