Re: [Dev-C++] Invalid initializer for an array

Probably the compiler's fault. Why don't you try creating a function that
handles that ?
E.g. :

template <class ARRAY_TYPE>
void fill_array ( ARRAY_TYPE [] &arrary, int number_of_items, ARRAY_TYPE
fill_value = 0 )
                        { for ( int i=0; i < number_of_items; i++ )
 array[i] = fill_value; } }

I know you said you didn't want the for thing... but making it a function
becomes really easy to use :

fill_array ( distribution, 5, 0 );

Byezzz
