Hi there,
I want to code an array of strcucts and initialize it like this
<code>
struct person
{
    char[] name;
    int id;
}

person[] persons =
{
    [ "Person" , 1 ]
    ...
}

but the compiler give the following error

a struct is not a valid initializer of person[]

how can i solve this.

You've got your {} and [] backwards?

Should be

     person[] persons =
     [
         { "Person" , 1 }
         ...
     ];

I find this whole usage of [ ]'s as part of initializers to be 
confusing.   Why is it different from C again? For those of us who 
missed the discussion before.
