Re: passing arrays

Posted by Mark Burford on 2001-04-08

Hi again, is it possible to initialise an array of pointers to NULL  i.e. 
"\0" .

For example an array of size 10 maybe, with the first 4 pointers pointing 
to maybe Happy, Sleepy, Grumpy , Dock, and the rest being from 4 to 9 set 
as null bytes.

Basically, can I shove an array full of null bytes??

my current code is as follows:-

char *Dictionary[200];  /*Dictionary*/
int j = 4;

Dictionary[0] = "A";
Dictionary[1] = "B";
Dictionary[2] = "C";
Dictionary[3] = "D";

/*initialise dictionary to NULL*/
for (j = 4; j < 200; j++)
         Dictionary[j] = "\0";

Many thanks
