Too many initializers for 'byte [26][8]'

Tanmay_Karmakar · Jul 16, 2020

I've been trying to work with a 2d array as mentioned 26 rows and 8 columns each. But the same error msg is poping up at compilation. What should I do?

How are you initialising them?

Posting the code would help. Also, keep in mind that the official Arduino forums (at https://forum.arduino.cc/) has many more active Arduino users than here.

Exactly I tried the forum previously for another solution, I don't like it there.
However, I've attached the main part of the program and as for the array declaration and initialization I'm pretty sure there's no problem except if there's too many array elements to hold .
I've tried initializing the 2d array both globally and in a separate library file, the same results keep coming up.

I've tried initializing them both globally and in a separately created library in the following format:
byte alphabet [26] [8]= {{B00001100,....,8th},{},........,{},....{26th}};

Try,

Code:

char test[2][8] = {
                  1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,
                  1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
                  };

Edit, what is the error message?
Edit2, Your binary numbers need 0b in front of them.

I've tried with unsigned char data type, and just B instead of 0b just works fine.

So, what is the error message?

"too many initializers for byte alphabet[26][8]};
Return code is not zero"

Ian Rogers · Jul 17, 2020

Okay... Show me the array that holds the alphabet... It says there are too many items in the init part

ie..

someArray[2][2] = { 1,2,3,4,5 } ; <--- too may initialisers..

Ok.. got it.. I will look into that...

You can post code using CODE tags. e.g.
[code]
Code goes here
[/code]

It will show up as

Code:

with scroll bars etc.

I’m willing to make a couple of bets.

Until you post all of your initialization code, you won’t get an answer. We’re just guessing.

Secondly, the problem is caused by a silly typo. Either mismatched braces or a missing (or extra) comma.

As mentioned, post your code with code tags.

Thank you all... The problem is solved.. it was because of the array size which actually is [27][8]
