Question

Hey there I have this function:

void vdCleanTheArray(int (*Gen_Clean)[25])
{

}

I wanted to know what kind of array does it accepts and clear it.

Sorry, I have a little knowledge in c++, someone just asked me.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It accepts an array declared as

int array[25];

which should be passed “by pointer”, i.e. by applying the & operator to the array

vdCleanTheArray(&array);

As for how to clean it… As I understand, it is the above function that should clean it and you are supposed to write it, right? Well, inside the function you access the array by using the dereference operator * as in

(*Gen_Clean)[i]

and you just “clear” it as you would clear any other array. Depends on what you mean by “clear”. Fill with zeros? If so, then just write a cycle from 0 to 24 (or to sizeof *Gen_Clean / sizeof **Gen_Clean) that would set each element to zero.
