Hi, I am using calloc in a function to allocate memory to my array. This function writes to the array different number of elements each time the function is called. Here is my problem. Say for the first time function writes to all the 3 locations and next time it writes to only first 2 locations. After the second call, the 3rd memory locations still contains the value written by the first function call. I understand that is the way it works.But I want to know if there is a way to erase all the locations before calling the function again? Is there any built-in function available? Also when I print the values of array initially it doesn't print zeroes. I have read that calloc initializes the memory fields to 0's. Following is the function code.
function write_to_array(int value) { int xdata *ascii_value,i; ascii_value = calloc(3, sizeof (int)); for(i=0;value!=0;i++) { mod = value%10; c = mod+'0'; ascii_value[i] = toascii(c); value/=10; } }
"... instead of harping ..."
"Harping"? Now that's pretty offensive. I would prefer that folks take my posts as "educating".
sorry, Dan, addressed to Jack.
Dan, you and I may differ, but I have yet to see you post derogatives about me, whereas Jack seems to enjoy doing so.

As usual.

There would appear to be no possibility of educating some people. Disagreement is probably the best you can hope for.
