Default values for array arguments

Question

Just playing around a little with C++. What I really want to do is to be able to setup a function with default values defined for an array or pointer argument. To keep thing

Answer 1

"abc" is an expression. It happens to behave specially, different from all other expressions, when it is used to initialize a variable of type array of char.

{'a','b','c'} is not an expression but an initializer. It is only syntactically allowed in variable definitions. There, the syntax allows either an expression or a non-expression initializer, but that does not man that initializers can be used as expressions anywhere else.
