"Try to initial"? No, you are _assigning_ a value to it. At least
that's what you think you're doing. But what value?

You didn't say _what_ you "initial" it with.

"Empty character constant". What don't you understand? The two
consequent single-quote characters do not represent a valid token in
C++. What do you want to assign to 'studentInfo[x].attendance[i]'?
Nothing? It can't have "nothing" in it. There is no such thing as
"nothing character". If you want to assign something to it, there
has to be something between those apostrophes, or there has to be
no apostrophes at all. You can do

studentInfo[x].attendance[i] = '\0';

or

studentInfo[x].attendance[i] = 0;

(if you want the null character there, for example).
