array

[pthread]

is it possible to nullify a character array which is declared inside a struct........if so show with example.......


thanks in advance

Do you have a code that nullifies array outside the struct?

i have a doubt..... that only am asking

Then answer is yes. Take your code for simple array. Replace it with array-member of the struct and check it. (Even no need to ask). If something will not work - post your code, decribe the problem, and ask the "smart question" ((c) FAQ)

If you don't know how to access structure members . . . use the . member access operator, or -> for pointers to structures.

struct s_t {
    int x;
};

struct s_t thestruct;

thestruct.x = 0;

For the "arrow" operator: (*thestruct).x is the same as thestruct->x.

If by "nullify a character array" you mean initialize all of its elements to zero, here is the syntax:

char buffer[BUFSIZ] = {0};
struct structure_type {
    char buffer[BUFSIZ];
} bufstruct = { {0} };

You can also set characters to zero with the memset() function.

char array[BUFSIZ];

memset(array, 0, sizeof(array));

If you just mean an empty string, then all you have to do is to set the first character to \0 or 0 like a normal string.

char array[BUFSIZ];
array[0] = 0;

Are you doing multithreaded programming? Just curious, since your name is pthread.

ya dwks very correct iam doing multithreading program

Threaded programming is some deep voodoo for someone who's yet to master even some rather basic C fundamentals.
