Possible Duplicate: C and C++ : Partial initialization of automatic structure While reading Code Complete , I came across an C++ array initialization example: float studentGrades[ MAX_STUDENTS ] = { 0.0 }; I did not know C++ could initialize the entire array, so I've tested it: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { const int MAX_STUDENTS=4; float studentGrades[ MAX_STUDENTS ] = { 0.0 }; for (int i=0; i<MAX_STUDENTS; i++) { cout << i << " " << studentGrades[i] << '\n'; } return 0; } The program gave the expected results: 0 0 1 0 2 0 3 0 But changing the initialization value from 0.0 to, say, 9.9 : float studentGrades[ MAX_STUDENTS ] = { 9.9 }; Gave the interesting result: 0 9.9 1 0 2 0 3 0 Does the initialization declaration set only the first element in the array?
