empty char

[zio_mangrovia]

An exercise asks to initialize a matrix because afterwards It's necessary to insert words (char by char), so how can I set empty char?
I thought to set in this way:

char word='\n'

Newline is not the same thing of empty char! If I print this char I got newline but empty char should print nothing.

but I'm trying to understand if there is way to define char as empty, just for example as for string I use:

char tree[]=""

Use \0.

But what exactly is your code?

char word='\n'

is not a word, but a letter.

What exactly are you trying?

[zio_mangrovia]

Word is only a identifier and the name is wrong.
I'd like to reset matrix before to write it some characters, so I need to write on each element null value.
So It's correct to write this one ?

 char r='\0'

How is the matrix defined? There are probably ways of initializing it without setting each value.

How is the matrix defined?

matrix is defined as NxN according to:

char** matrix;
matrix=new char*[N];
for (int i=0; i<N; i++)
   matrix[i]=new char[N];

[2kaud]

To create and initialise each element to its default init value (\0 for a char), consider

	auto matrix = new char*[N];

	for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
		matrix[i] = new char[N] {};
