Initializing structure arrays

Question

I'm doing a chemistry project for my school. It's supposed to give info about any element when its atomic number is given as input.

The code is here : http://pastebin.com/42H1SZhh ( I put it there since it's like 400 lines... )

Now, at line 47, I get this error : chemistry.c:46:3: error: expected '}' before '{' token It highlights the line that contains the opening brace for the element Helium...

{  // This line
          "HELIUM", "He", 2, 4 , -269, -272
 }

It don't really know why this problem occurs, as I've made sure my syntax is right... could anyone point out where the mistake is ? Thank you

You're missing comma's separating each array element in that initializer. (i.e after each structure closing }) — WhozCraig

"as I've made sure my syntax is right" That sounds very self-confident. How did you make that sure? — glglgl

@glglgl, well I read it a few times, and couldn't find any problems like a missing '}' or a loop without braces, I didn't know they had to be seperated by commas as long as they were in different sets of braces :) — ABanerjee

You're missing commas between your struct initializers. You get the error message in question because without a comma, the compiler expects the thing following the first struct initializer to be the closing brace of the enclosing array initializer.
