Thread: initialization of char array (c style string)

hey how would you initialize all the elements of a char array in the array declaration to a specific character ?

like

Code:

int array[MAX] = {0};

initializes all the elements to zero

i want a char array to initialize all of its element to ' '

my try was

Code:

char array[MAX] = { ' ' }

but the array has the first element to ' ' all else to null why ?


BTW i want it to be done in the array declaration, i know i can ran the array through a loop and initialize but im thinking that there might be another way
