Program in c presenting output, strange different from the value of variables

Question

I’m having a problem running a program on and c that when I compile it and run it shows me a value that is not set in my variable I’m thinking it’s some bug with the ide or something related to the buffer I’ll leave a screenshot for you to see

the code:

the exit:

Answer 1

This error occurs because, you want to use a string(text) and only used a char(character). In the C language a string is represented by a string ending with a null character ' 0'. But you put only as char nick. The correct would be for example char nick[100];

When declaring char the compiler will allocate only 1byte of memory capable of storing a character.

However after placing this char[100] you will receive another error, check out:

That is, it is not possible to assign a string field of a struct to a string constant "Assanges". To work you must use the function of (string copy) or strcpy(destination, origin). So put: strcpy(user.nick, "Assanges"); and it will work!

Remember to make string include. h

Check out:

See below the correct code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

struct User{
 char nick[100];
 int id;
}user;
int main(){
   strcpy(user.nick, "Assanges");
   user.id = 45474;
   printf("\nNick:%s\nId:%d \n", user.nick, user.id);

return 0;
}

Now when performing it will work!
