title: How to fill an array with one character in C++
body: <p>Instead of setting up a loop to go through each position of this array and set it equal to this dot</p>
  
  <pre><code>int arraySize=50;
  char board[arraySize];
  
       for(i=0; i&lt;arraySize; i++)
            board[i]='.';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can declare an array to be filled with these '.' right away?</p>
  
  <p>e.g.   char board[arraySize]={'.'};</p>
