C++ :: Global Char Type Array Initializing

I am not getting any error below

--------
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
char sqr[3];
sqr[0] = '1';
sqr[1] = '1';
cout << sqr[0] << sqr[1];
while (1);
}------------

but if I move my char type array before main , I get error l

----------------------------
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
char sqr[3];
sqr[0] = '1';
sqr[1] = '1';
void main()
{
cout << sqr[0] << sqr[1];
while (1);
}
