A simple C/C++ question for all you brainiacs.

[NuclearNed]

Suppose I have an integer array, defined thus:

int nPattern[8][3];

It seems like there is an easy way to initialize this array, like so:

nPattern = {{0,0,0}, {1,0,0}, {0,1,0}, {0,0,1}, {1,1,0}, {1,0,1}, {0,1,1}, {1,1,1}};

But this doesn't work (syntax error}. I've used so many different languages lately that I've forgotten how to do this in my "native" language. Is there an easy way to do this?

Help??!?!?!???!!!

Umm, i just just just started and dont know everything about arrays, but try using a bracket like () instead

If I remember correctly, you can only initialize arrays like that upon declaration. So you would have to do:

int nPattern[8][3] = {{0,0,0}, {1,0,0}, {0,1,0}, {0,0,1}, {1,1,0}, {1,0,1}, {0,1,1}, {1,1,1}};

yes , int nPattern[8][3]= {{0,0,0}, {1,0,0}, {0,1,0}, {0,0,1}, {1,1,0}, {1,0,1}, {0,1,1}, {1,1,1}};

or int nPattern[][3]= {{0,0,0}, {1,0,0}, {0,1,0}, {0,0,1}, {1,1,0}, {1,0,1}, {0,1,1}, {1,1,1}};

BTW

Looks like an octal bit pattern...

but I thought the order was

int nPattern= {{0,0,0},
{0,0,1},
{0,1,0},
{0,1,1},
{1,0,0},
{1,0,1},
{1,1,0},
{1,1,1}}

you can also use a pointer

The pattern is just all binary combinations of 3 bits, not necessarily an octal pattern.

Thanks to all for the help - I'm getting a little bit of play time in at work, and I'm trying to implement a graphical algorithm I read about in Wired several months ago. Maybe when I get the code done I'll post it so everyone can see the coolness.
