Initialize char array in one line

[ashokd001]

Hi
How do i reinitialize a char array in one line if i want to use the same array variable every time.
Ex-

char name[1024];

You can't 're-initialize' anything, you can just assign another value to the members
of the array. Why do you want to do that on one line? Homework?

kind regards,

This is not just a home wark.
If i want to use the same array , then i have to re-initialize it so it will be very easy if i can do it in one line.

any suggestion..

memset(name, 0, 1024);

You could assign new data to the array using strcpy or memcpy

Can memset be use for C++.

Yes, of course if you are using C++ you should consider using a vector instead of an array with all its associated member.

I've never seen memset before, so it seems wierd to me. Isn't strcpy a better choice somehow? It was designed for this, right?

The strcpy() function needs a \0 terminated sequence of chars; memset() simply
sets every element to the same value. Also memcpy() can be of use; it depends.
