Date: 2014oct23 Language: C/C++ Q. What is a fast way to initialize a bool array ? A. For true or false you can use memset(). Often the compiler can turn that into a single machine instruction.

#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> // memset() is here main() { const int MY_SIZE = 1000; bool a[MY_SIZE]; // 1. naive way - works but not super fast for (int i = 0; i < MY_SIZE; i++) { a[i] = true; } // 2. using memset memset(a, true, sizeof(a)); }
