Initializing an array of structures

How horrible this is depends on the language: is it C? C++? something else? :)

It's C, but I don't see how the language makes it any better or worse.

some languages such as C# allow for code inside a struct; C does not. How would you do it in C? :)

No matter what language - all of them allow at least for summarizing this in one loop construct... :) Regards Thomas

int field1;
int field2;
int field3;
} anArray[15];for (int i = 0; i < 15; ++i)

anArray[i].field1 = 1;

I could find better ways.

that is something different, it generates no run-time code. It may or may not be sufficient for what the original program needed, assuming you duplicate the constants 15 times. :)

Can't modify a deleted message :P I couldn't make it scalable so I deleted my post:
struct k[15] = { {1,2,3},...}

No, however you can edit a message instead of deleting it. :)

Well, this can be a coding guideline. It may look a bit silly and pedantic to put brackets around a single statement, because it makes you write things like:
if (somecondition)
{
return;
}Tools like e.g. ReSharper (for C#) do that automatically, so you don't have to type. I've seen this often in larger teams, and it brings some more readability to the code. I do it myself... Or, as you suggest, it's simply an absence of any thinking or understanding. Who knows ? :cool: Regards Thomas

Excactly - even though I don't subscribe to it, it is a common guideline to avoid a mistake like this:
for (int i = 0; i < 15; ++i)
anArray[i].field1 = 1;
someotherarray[i].somefield = 2;It's just a strange idea, but someone, in the future, MIGHT come up with maybe another array to be assigned a different value. :rolleyes:
Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.
