C array declaration and assignment?

Question

I\'ve asked a similar question on structs here but I\'m trying to figure out how C handles things like assigning variables and why it isn\'t allowed to assign them to eachot

Answer 1

In an attempt to complement Blank's answer, I devised the following program:

localhost:~ david$ cat test.c
#include 
#include 
int main (int argc, char * argv [])
{
  struct data {
    int c [2];
  } x, y;
  x.c[0] = x.c[1] = 0;
  y.c[0] = y.c[1] = 1;
  printf("x.c %p %i %i\n", x.c, x.c[0], x.c[1]);
  printf("y.c %p %i %i\n", y.c, y.c[0], y.c[1]);
  x = y;
  printf("x.c %p %i %i\n", x.c, x.c[0], x.c[1]);
  printf("y.c %p %i %i\n", y.c, y.c[0], y.c[1]);

  return 0;
}

When executed, the following is output:

x.c 0x7fff5fbff870 0 0
y.c 0x7fff5fbff860 1 1
x.c 0x7fff5fbff870 1 1
y.c 0x7fff5fbff860 1 1

The point is to illustrate how the copy of structures' values occurs.
