How can I copy an element of an array of chars to a char?

Let's say I've got this piece of code:

void copyElement(int n, char source[100])
{
    char s;
    strcpy(s, source[n]);
}

I will get some errors and it won't work.

What would be the proper way to do it?

strcpy takes pointers to characters and not characters, what you could do is

void copyElement(int n, char source[100])
{
    char * s = (char *) malloc (1) ;
    strcpy(s, &source[n]);
}

You can do it directly. If you want to copy a char of a specific position you can use

char c = source[index_of_array];
