Question
I need help getting my C homework program to run.
I think it has to with the fact I used strcpy? Im trying to print the SCity as a string for my output.
Many thanks in advance. Also, this program is supposed to calculate the expenses of traveling from one city to the other city. I hope my structure isnt too bad, im still trying to get the hang of it.

#include<stdlib.h>

int Hcharge, Fcharge, Tcharge, Rcharge, Total;

Your mistake was that you were trying to assign a string to a character.
Just convert all char to char arrays and your strcpy works.
