The quickest way to clear an array is as follows.

struct Row
{
int count;
char entries[10000];
};

struct Page
{
int count;
Row entries[400];
};

Now, it will depend om how you will populate the data, for that you first have to set the appropriate count to 0, then you need to fill in the equired elements into entries, then try to set the count to a particular number of elements that you add.

Inorder to clear the char array, you need to hold the strings and assign the null char to index 0.

Noue:- '\0', \0, and 0 are all ways of indicating null char.

You need to put a null char in each index zero and you just need to loop the array in the following ways:-

char 2Darray[10][7];
for (int ct = 0; ct < 10; ct++) /*note that you need to give ct some starting value before it's used in the loop*/
{
2Darray[ct][0] = '\0';
}

There are two ways by which yoou can clear the char array in c++

In order to over write the elements of the array with a NULL (value of zero), you could either use a loop or use memset:

memset(test, 0, 10);

Or, you can also try to make it an empty string:

test[0] = '\0';

In the second phase, it doesn't matter if the previous characters are still in the array, because the string ends are set at the NULL.
