c - gcc warning: braces around scalar initializer

Question

I have look-up-table as defined below and I'm making use of GCC. When I compile I get warnings as

warning: braces around scalar initializer

What does this warning mean? How should I initialize this LUT? Am I making a mistake in initializing this structures?

Help!!

typedef struct TECH
{

    float velocity1, velocity2;
    float temp;
    float measure;

    int id;
    float storage[64];

}TECH;

Answer 1

You should remove the braces: { and } around single values.
