String error: invalid conversion from 'const char*

Receiving the following error:
invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char'

Initializing as ( prior to setup() and loop() ):
char name[12] = " ";

Later in my code, within loop():
name = "Hi Bob!";

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!! :sunglasses:

You can't assign a string like that in 'C':name = "Hi Bob!";

You could use strcpy:

strcpy (name, "Hi Bob!");
