Re: [Dev-C++] Const member in a Struct

You seem to be using a very funny indentation. Please don't.

To access an element of an array, you should write
array[0].member =3D 10;

You can not write lines like 1.name =3D "hydrogen".

Observe also that in C/C++, an array starts with index 0, and not index 1.
