Problem with structure

[varthi]

I have small program using structure.The elements in the structure are char arrays.After filling the structure , I am trying to print the values , but values are not printng correctly.

How to solve this problem?

typedef struct
{
char cName[3];
char cAddress[3];
char cLocation[3];
char cCountry[3];

}MSG;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
MSG msg;

strcpy(msg.cName,"Mik"
strcpy(msg.cAddress,"Ray"
strcpy(msg.cLocation ,"LO1"
strcpy(msg.cCountry,"CAN"

cout<<msg.cName<<endl;
cout<<msg.cAddress<<endl;
cout<<msg.cLocation<<endl;
cout<<msg.cCountry<<endl;

return 0;
}

Well, a string must have a '\0' as last character to indicate the end. Your string is only 3 chars long,make it 4 and everything should be fine X-)

After what Muppeteer said, i would also do a

memset(msg,0,sizeof(MSG));

JUST IN CASE... I have seen weird things happen without it.
