Hello,
1) First problem.
In my project i need to convert from char* to BYTE*( BYTE is unsigned
char),
is there any way to make the convertion?
BYTE* bite;
char* ch="help me, please";
bite = (BYTE*)ch; ? is this not right? what shoul i do here?
2) Second Problem
I defined array of WORD in c++;
WORD ar[7];
when how i can give it default value?
default values must be NULL(or zero).
i mean the arrays addres must be clean, must be NULL,
how should i do for it?
thanks 4 2747

right, but not good.
static_cast<BYTE*>(ch);
But don't cast it to unsigned char*, if it's only a string literal, it's
useless. Or that's only your demo.

no default value actually,
you may say, how to give initial value.
WORD ar[7] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
or
WORD ar[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
default values must be NULL(or zero).
the value is random.

That's a C-ism. 'ch' should be actually declared
char const *ch = ...; // note the 'const'
bite = (BYTE*)ch; ? is this not right? what shoul i do here?
Depends on what you're going to do with it. A cast to a pointer to
non-const BYTE is in most cases wrong. You probably want to cast it
to a pointer to const BYTE.

You cannot control the address of the array. It's allocated when
you define it, and it gets its address there and then.
Again, what do you need 'ar' for? Do you really need it to be
an array of 7 'WORD's?

That shouldn't compile; you need a reinterpret_cast here. Or
static_cast to void*, and then to BYTE*. And as Victor has
pointed out, ch should really be a char const*, so you'd also
need a const_cast.
But don't cast it to unsigned char*, if it's only a string
literal, it's useless. Or that's only your demo.
That would be my real question as well: why the conversion to
begin with? If you're dealing with text, char is the type, not
unsigned char, and while some legacy interfaces in the C library
do require converting an individual char to an unsigned char
(those in <ctype.h>), the need to convert char* to unsigned
char* should be exceedingly rare.

It depends, of course, on the type. He doesn't say what WORD
is.
no default value actually,
you may say, how to give initial value.
WORD ar[7] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
or
WORD ar[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
default values must be NULL(or zero).
the value is random.
He can always write something like:
WORD ar[7] = {} ;
to get zero initialization for all of the elements.
i mean the arrays addres must be clean, must be NULL,
no such way of expression.
I'm not even sure what he means. The address of ar can't be
null, ever.

Sorry for my mistake,
i mean by "arrays addres must be clean, must be NULL" is to get zero
initialization for all elements of The array,
now it is clear for me.
