An array stores number of same data type. For an array there may arise a situation when you need to store 2-3 values that are same i.e. 3,3,3,3 needs to be stored.
For this case, the programing language C has made a simple way to create an array with such repeated value to reduce the workload of the programmer.
Syntax
[startofRepeatingSeq … EndofRepeatingSeq]number Example : For 3 repeated 5 times ; [0 … 4]3
Example
#include <stdio.h> int main() { int array[10] = {[0 ... 4]3, [6 ... 9]5}; for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) printf("%d ", array[i]); return 0; }
Output
3 3 3 3 3 0 5 5 5 5
