lvalue
means “left value” — it should be assignable. You cannot change the value of text
since it is an array, not a pointer.
Either declare it as char pointer (in this case it’s better to declare it as const char*
):
const char *text; if(number == 2) text = "awesome"; else text = "you fail";
Or use strcpy:
char text[60]; if(number == 2) strcpy(text, "awesome"); else strcpy(text, "you fail");
