Structure with arrays

[jumperkid400]

So this might not even exist but if it doesn't it definitely should. I have 3 arrays of structures that i would like to display their individual elements. I would use a 2D array but the structure holds multiple different types.

struct candyBar
{
        char brandName[20];
        double weight;
        int calories;
};

int main (void)
{
        //initialize the type candyBar variable  
        candyBar snack[3] =
        {
                "Mocha Munch",
                2.3,
                350,
        };
        
        candyBar snack1[3] =
        {
                "Snickers",
                3.2,
                600,
        };

        candyBar snack2[3]
        {
                "Milky Way",
                4.1,
                320,
        };

this is an exercise from c++ primer 6th ed chapter 4 problem 6

I would like to have it so that this program could be expanded to as large as i would ever want. So variables and loops are my main goals obviously.

Did you have any trouble with the exercises in chapter 3?

What you posted is kinda nonsense. Try backing up in your textbook.
EDIT: What is this problem #6?

You haven't provided us with an actual question. But the code you have provided above is incorrect.

candyBar snack[3] = // Etc 

Creates an array to hold 3 snack objects, but you're only defining 1. I'd be surprised if this code compiled.

C++11 would have something like:

candyBar snack[3] = { 
        {
                "Mocha Munch",
                2.3,
                350,
        },
        {
                "Snickers",
                3.2,
                600,
        },
        {
                "Milky Way",
                4.1,
                320,
        }
};

@ Zaita so you can put the snack in the array and reference them. snack[0].name = "Mocha Munch

ahhh once you posted that i remembered seeing it and found that type of assigning thanks for the help!
