c- assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast

Question

I got a warning:

assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast.

The line that triggers the warning is:

nev[i][0]="";

The nev variable is a 2 dimension char block(please don't ask why, I don't know).

Thanks in advance guys!

If nev is a 2-dimensional array of char, then nev[i][0] is a char. But "" is an array of char, not a char. — Barmar

"" represents an array of char, yes, but furthermore, like any array it is converted to a pointer to its first element when evaluated. That's where the pointer comes from. — John Bollinger

nev[i][0]=""; --> nev[i][0]=0; – BLUEPIXY
