Thread: Assigning the same value to every element of an array.

Beginner question here, I need to assign the same value to every element of an array, and have the computer output that value to the console. After I accomplish this, I will be adding another function that will randomly assign a different value to each element of the array, but I haven't got there yet. This program outputs the location of the element, instead of its value.

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class List{ 
private:
    int myarray [99];
public: List();
        void print();
};
int main(){
    List storesamevalue;
    storesamevalue.print();
    return 0;
}
List::List(){
    int myarray [99]=99;
}


void List::print(){
    cout<<myarray[1];
}

How can I change the assignment statement in the Constructor's definition, or change the output statement in the print function to output the value of the element.

Thanks.

Thanks for your response. I am indeed supposed to use a "for" loop, but am having difficulty understanding what difference it makes. I updated the constructor to

Code:

List::List(){
	for (int a=0;a<=99;a++)
		myarray[a];
}

This still returns a string of random numbers which I understand to be the memory location of the array. Sorry for the beginner question here, but how do I modify that 'for' loop to assign a constant value of 99 to each individual element of the array?

Thanks again.

I can assign a value to a single element of the array, for example, this will return "99" to the console, but if I change the final cout statement to a different element, it will not:

Code:

List::List(){
    for (int a=0;a<99;a++)
        myarray[a];
    myarray[10]=99;
}
void List::print(){
        cout<<myarray[10];
}

I need to apply the value 99 to every element in the array, and am not particularly interested in listing each element and setting it equal to 99, I can't seem to find a command or create a function or loop that will assign the same value to every element without having to list them all.
