I\'ve got an array of class objects, and inside the class object I\'ve got another array that I\'d need to initialize to all zeros. The code compiles and runs, but my outpu

Answer 1

There are two problems with your code:

byte[16]={0};

Array has 0 based index, so maximum index in this case can be 15, not 16. You are corrupting the memory.

Second, you have to loop through all the elements and initialize them. The way you are initializing will be done for one element only.

Cache::Cache()  
{
  for(int i=0;i<16;i++)
   byte[i]=0;
}
