How to handle arrays of char arrays

[gcjr]

ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to 'char*

which in my mind makes it an error

i can initialize a variable to a constant, why shouldn't i "need" to initialize a string variable to a constant?

This is why C++ is so great it doesn’t stop users from hanging themselves if they wish to do so

it allows more knowledgeable developers to fully utilize the capabilities of the machine.

some do need that protection. Kernighan said C doesn't have the "guard rails" that C++ has that very large applications need.
