initializing array using pointer

[arun]

suppose i have a pointer to an array of integers.can i initialize each
member of the array using pointers?plz explain

[saurabh]

Hi,

You can assign values to array elements using pointer. Look at the code
below:

main ()
{
int array[3];
int *pArry, count;

pArry = array;

*pArry = 1; pArry++;
*pArry =2; pArry++;
*pArry =3;

for (count = 0; count <3; count++)
printf ("array[%d] contains %d\r\n",count, array[count]);

}

Is this what you want.

Regards,
Saurabh.

You mean something like:

#define ARR_MAX 100

int arr[ARR_MAX];
int *myptr;
int i;

myptr = arr;
for(i=0; i<ARR_MAX; i++) {
*myptr = 0;
myptr++;
}

You (and others, such as Keith) are wasting your breath. They'll never get
it. And I'll tell you why.

Imagine that there's a mouse - and the mouse is the Usenet. You and I can
see that it is a mouse and we behave accordingly. But now there is a class
of users (we'll call them "googlers") that are wearing these funny weird
glasses that make them see not a mouse, but an elephant. Seeing an
elephant (i.e., the Usenet as a web page), they also behave accordingly.
And no amount of verbiage from us is going to convince them that it's not
an elephant - that it is only a mouse.

To make this more clear, to a googler, it doesn't make any sense to "quote"
(whatever the heck that is...), in fact, to do so would be absurd, when all
the rest of the articles in the thread are right there in front of their
faces (just as clear as the trunk on that mouse, er, elephant). And no
amount of verbiage from us is going to convince them not to believe what
they see. The point is you can *never* convince someone that what they see
isn't reality. The only way you can address the problem is to help them
fix their eyesight (or help them remove their funny glasses).

And of course, Kenny is wrong (what a surprise). Many of the people
have learned to quote properly via the instructions given to them.
Many, if not most, do so because the Google interface is so archane
that they couldn't figure out how to do so.

With any luck the idjits at Google will switch that around.

No. Initialisation is something that happens when you declare the
variable.

You probably mean assign. In which case sure, just iterate over the
array, pointing to each element and assigning it a value.

Speaking (jestingly) of plaguing Usenet, you've been missing for some

So I can interpret "non-vanishing" as "non-zero" (or, in mathematical
terms, some epsilon where epsilon > 0) ?

In any case, my point is that googlers come and googlers go - so even if
you managed to "educate" 1 in 10 in any given day, tomorrow, there'll be
a whole new horde of the unwashed - and they'll be gone by nightfall, never
to return, but simply to be replaced by a new horde.

Plus, there's the whole question of whether anybody *should* change their
behavior simply because they are asked (granted, asked nicely) to do so,
when that behavior change goes against their optical perception of the
world. Granted, there are some people like this and more power *to* them,
but they are rare.

The word "initialization" is often used informally to refer to
assigning an initial value to a variable. The usage isn't strictly
consistent with the standard, but I think we recently saw a case where
the standard itself uses the word in this informal sense (I don't
remember the details).

Of course you can, but your question was pretty unclear. You said you
had a pointer to an array of ints, and you wanted to initalise it with
pointers. That doesn't make sense to me.

This is initialisation:

// initalise x to 4
int x = 4;

// initalise px to the address of x
int *px = &x;

So would I, were his random interspersions of "Off-topic blah" always
correct. They aren't always, and where they're not, they're actively
harmful, and should be corrected.

Note that in this case, though, my main intent was to support
Christopher (by pointing out that Kenny's remark was irrelevant), not to
contradict Kenny /per se/.
