    Annoying Array - Simple Problem ( I hope)

    Hey guys, I'm working on what should be a fairly simple program. This is a function I'm having trouble with. It's probably some stupid mistake but if so I can't see it. I want the function to set each variable in an array to a fraction (decimal), but each value after arrays[0] ends up as 0. I'm pretty sure the problem lies within the function after checking the variables while debugging.

    Code:
    double init(double arrays[], int n)
    {
        int counter;
        for (counter = 0; counter <= n; counter++)
        {
        arrays[counter] = 1 / (counter + 1);
        }
        return 0;
    }
    I want the array's values to be set like this:

    a[0] = 1/1, a[1] = 1/2, a[2] = 1/3 ... a[n] = 1/(n+1)

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    EDIT: I doubt this will help but I started the function in main() using this line: init(arrays, n);
