char str1[20] = Something; char *str2 = Random; strcat(str1, str2[1]); It gives the error

  • 0
char str1[20] = "Something";
char *str2 = "Random";
strcat(str1, str2[1]);

It gives the error pointer from integer without a cast
why is str2[1] treated as an integer?
so what should I do if I want to strcat individual elements in a string
Thanks!

    Because an element from a char array is a char, which is an integral type. If you want a pointer to the second element, try str2 + 1 or &str2[1].
