SUMMARY
The ANSI C standard does not allow selective initialization of array elements with the following syntax:
char MyArray[10] = {'a','b',,'d',,'f','g',,'i','j'};
This attempt at selective initialization is not correct and will generate a "Syntax Error" at compile time as follows.
The following two declarations will compile and are valid declarations for Microsoft C version 5.1 and later:
The initialization of all the elements of the array is as follows:
char MyArray[10] = {'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j'};
The initialization of the first characters in the array is as follows:
char MyArray[10] = {'a','b','c','d','e'};
