Assign array to array

Question

So I am playing around with some arrays, and I cannot figure out why this won\'t work.

int numbers[5] = {1, 2, 3};
int values[5] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
values =          


        

Answer 1

You can't assign arrays in C++, it's stupid but it's true. You have to copy the array elements one by one. Or you could use a built in function like memcpy or std::copy.

Or you could give up on arrays, and use std::vector instead. They can be assigned.
