Initialize pointer
/*Input variables*/
double *kloc_r;
double *kloc_i;
double *img_r;
double *img_i;
Assign the complex numbers to array my_plan.f_hat[] whose element's type is double complex.
for(int i = 0; i < row; i++){
for(int j = 0; j < col; j++){
double real = img_r[(j*row + i)];
double imag = img_i[(j*row + i)];
my_plan.f_hat[(j*row + i)] = real +_Complex_I*imag;
}
}
Assign double numbers to array my_plan.x[] whose element's type is double.
for(j = 0; j < my_plan.M_total; j++){
my_plan.x[2*j + 0] = kloc_r[j];
my_plan.x[2*j + 1] = kloc_i[j];
}
When compiling, it alerts me with following error.
error: assignment to expression with array type: my_plan.f_hat[(j*row + i)] = real +_Complex_I*imag;

Please post the code for the definition of the variables involved. Also, please do NOT post screen shots of code. We can't run screen shots. Please replace your screen shots with actual text that you highlight and use the "{ } Code" button to format.
