declaring arrays

[Randi]

I am reading a c++ book, and it doesn't go into detail on how to change the whole array after it has been declared for example myArray[10] {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} wont work, how is this done?

Example:

Code: Select all

int Array[10]; //Declares an array with 10 ints
Array[0] = 12; //Arrays start with 0 not 1

you can do a for loop and go change each element in the array I never really used the {} method, I like the loops better

Initialization lists can only be used when you first declare the array. If you want to set the entire contents of the array you have to either use a loop as david suggested, or initialize another array with the desired contents and assign it to the original array.
