C++ Make a Char Array have a Value of the string -

for program, have highscore section. input string, how can make string equal char array? fyi: string playersname filled out name. here code:

class highscore {     public:         char name[10];         ...[code]... }  ...[code]... // declare variables *the playersname filled out already* string playersname = ""; ...[code]...  // how can data[playerscore].name equal playersname string? cin.get (data[playerscore].name, 9); // know cin.get not in code since players name string 

you can use std::string::copy member function, like

// length of destination buffer won't overflow size_t length = sizeof data[playerscore].name;   // copy string content char buffer playersname.copy(data[playerscore].name, length);  // add `'\0'` @ end data[playerscore].name[length] = '\0';
