This is a syntax error. You either
remove the typedef from in front of the declaration or
you include the "new name" ELEMENT_T before the final
semicolon and delete the next declaration.

Where did you declare MAX_E? Did you mean MAX_ELEMENTS?

MAX_ELEMENTS is 8. The subscripts range from 0 to 7. You have 9
initializers. You can't stuff 10 pounds into a 5 pound bag.

We can't help you with something along the lines of. We need to see
you exact code and the exact error message.
