Suppose I defined a structure like this:

struct person
{
    char name [10];
    int  age;
};

and declared two person variables:

person Bob;
person John;

where Bob.name = "Bob", Bob.age = 30 and John.name = "John",John.age = 25. and I called

Bob = John;

struct person would do a Memberwise assignment and assign Johns's member values to Bob's.

But arrays can't assign to arrays, so how does the assignment of the "name" array work?
