You can't assign a string literal to a char array that already exist. Either you do it directly: char arr[10]="word"; Or you use the strcmp function from string.h. Or you do it by hand, letter by letter with a loop, writing a 0/'\0' at the end.

Either use char are[10]="xyz" Or use strcpy(are[10], "xyx") with library of #include<string.h>

Actually when you are writing arr="word", its logically incorrect. Actually arr denotes the address of the first element of your array and it does not represent your array. So you should write char arr[10]= "word", thus initializing at the time of declaration. This will work. Kudos..
