    Preforming operations on an array

    For my assignment I have to have an array with only zeros.

    Code:
    int a[20] = { 0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0 };
    Then I need to send it into a function that makes the array like this

    Code:
    int a[20] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6, ... , 19}
    Which I have done here

    Code:
    int initialize(int a[], int n)
    
    {
        int m = 0;
        int i;
        
        printf("\n");
        printf("Now the array is \n");
        
               
        for (i=0; i<20; i++ )
        {   
            
            a[i] = a[i] + m;
            
            m = m + 1 ;
            
            printf ("%3d", a[i]);
            
            }
            
            
    }
    Now I need to do the following with the array.

    I need to take whatever value is in each position and add that value to all of the previous values.

    like this.

    Code:
    a[3] = a[3] + a[2] + a[1] + a[0]
    
    only for every a[i]
    I know that I can code this the long way, but I just can't see to be able to find out how to do this a better way.

    Thanks.

    by the way its my first post.

    For the first one you could have just done:
    Code:
       for (i=0; i<20; i++ )
            a[i] = i;
    For the next one, you'll need to use a nested loop (a loop within a loop).
