[Solved] both are char but i get, invalid conversion from `char’ to `char*’ [closed]

Not only are you confusing the order or parametres in strcpy (it’s destination, then source, so strcpy(xstring, animalsarray[j][0]); would have it’s parametres inverted), you’re confusing a char with a pointer-to-char.

xstring is a char, and you’re trying to use it as a string.

If you want to set all the elements of the array to the 'x' character, try using memset instead.

for(j=0;j<100;j++){
    memset(&animalsarray[j][0], 100, 'x');
}

Although this doesn’t set the last character of the array as '\0', so you don’t have 0-terminating strings. To have this, add animalsarray[j][99] = '\0'; just after the memset(...);.

If you do want to use xstring as a 0-terminated string, it would have to be initialised thusly:

*xstring="x";
