Assign null to a character array.

Suppose there is a character type array. So, if i like to assign null to it. I have to done as following way (like given code). But I like to assing null to all its index without individually assign null to each index. How does it possible please help. My present technique is like this..............

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
        char a[100];
        int i;
        for(i = 0; i < 100; i++)
                a[i] = '\0';

        return 0;
}

Well, you can do something like this:

Code:

---

char a[1000] = { 0 };

---

That will fill the whole array with zeros.

Or, if you have something that has been used previously, and you want to "clear it", you can use memset().
