bool bricks[3][5]={false};
I am trying to check a Boolean array.
the error I am getting is that bricks has to be an lvalue.
if(bricks[2][5]=true)
I know this is very simple, but google is not working very well.
if and array checking
Can you show actual code, as typed?
It sounds like your array might be declared as bool *bricks[3][5] or you are doing something like if(bricks[2]==true), in which case you are comparing a bool (true) with a pointer to bool.

bool bricks[3][5]={{false,false,false,false,false},{false,false,false,false,false},{false,false,false,false,false}};
void brick_collision()
{
if(bricks[2,4]==true)
{
}
}
here is some of my code
bricks[2,4] isn't how you index a multi-dimensional array in C++.
bricks[2][4], however, is.
bricks[2][4], however, is.
To elaborate a bit: bricks[2,4] is still valid C++, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_operator.
What it actually does is discard the value of 2 and use 4 as the array subscript. As a result, bricks[2,4] evaluates to bricks[4], which is of type bool[5], thus the incompatibility error.
