error: assignment of function 'void digitalWrite(uint8_t, uint8_t) - c++

Question

Warning: I'm new to C++ (and most of programming in general) and am learning the language to be able to write code for my arduino
I'm learning how to use a shift register using the Arduino IDE which i believe is in C++.
Here is the code:
const int latchPin = 12; // connected to ST_CP of 74HC595
const int clockPin = 8; // connected to SH_CP of 74HC595
const int dataPin = 11; // connected to DS of 74HC595
// display 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, b, C, d, E, F
int datArray[16] = (252, 96, 218, 242, 102, 182, 190, 224, 254, 246, 238, 62, 156, 122, 158, 142);
void setup()
{
//set pins to output
pinMode(latchPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(clockPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(dataPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
//loop from 0 to 256
for(int num = 0; num < 16; num++)
{
digitalWrite(latchPin, LOW); //ground latchPin and hold low for as long as you are transmitting
shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, MSBFIRST, datArray[num]); //MSBFIRST means most significant bit first
// return the latch pin high to signal chip that it no longer needs to listen for information
digitalWrite=(latchPin, HIGH); // pull the latchpin to save the data
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
}
and here is the error which I do not understand what it means and what I should do about it
shift_register:5:92: error: array must be initialized with a brace-enclosed initializer
int datArray[16] = (252, 96, 218, 242, 102, 182, 190, 224, 254, 246, 238, 62, 156, 122, 158, 142);

Answer 1

This line is the problem:
int datArray[16] = (252, 96, 218, 242, 102, 182, 190, 224, 254, 246, 238, 62, 156, 122, 158, 142);
Change it to:
int datArray[16] = {252, 96, 218, 242, 102, 182, 190, 224, 254, 246, 238, 62, 156, 122, 158, 142};
