Using "typedef" to define array

Hi,

I'm using C Comipler V7.10, Vision2 V2.40 with AT89C51SND1C micro.

For my program I want to have an array for Names. I know I can do it the following way:

unsigned char Names[10][10]; // 10 names, each 10 char

and then use 2 "for" loops to enter in the char into the particular name, but what I want to know is, if I can do the following:

typedef unsigned char NAME_LEN[10];
NAME_LEN Name[10];

void main()
{
Name[0]="FOO"; // First name is FOO
}

I'm getting the following error "left side of asn-op not a lvalue". Why is the above code not vaild? Thanks
