    Simple question about arrays

    See, I've got a 2 dimensional array, let's call it "myarray" for simplicity.
    myarray is 8 on 8 (myarray[8][8]).

    Now assuming I want to put an 8 bit word in myarray[0][0-7].
    Is there any way I can put it whole? Like " myarray[0]=10100110; " ?
    That doesn't compile, but that's just an example.
    I'd think there'd be a way to put it together, and not one by one, but I can't seem to find it.
    Do I really to change each "tile" on its own?

    Thanks, tima.

    Code:
    int myarray[8][8]={{1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0}};
    all members left not initialized during declaration will be initialized to 0 (if at least one member of the array was initialized explicitely.
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    I don't want to set it during declaration, because the array changes according to what I type.
    I want to do it in the middle of the code.

    Then you need to write a loop
