Thread: Null string assignment

Just saw this line in some C code and was unfamiliar with the syntax. Can someone explain where I might learn a bit more about the syntax of using the {} in this way?

Code:

static char a_null_str[1] = { 0x00 };

Thanks, --Ray

Sure you can get that from any C tutorial or book.

It's called an initializer value...

You can initialize an array that way (only at declaration time). Link and link

This shows initialization with null character...
