If only to 0 then you can use memset   int  a   new int 6    memset a  0  6 sizeof int

Hey i think The fastest way to handle that kind of operation is to memset   the memory   Example-  memset  amp myPage pageArray 0  0   0  sizeof myPage pageArray     A similar C   way would be to use std  fill  char  begin   myPage pageArray 0  0   char  end   begin   sizeof myPage pageArray   std  fill begin  end  0

Assuming a C-style array a of size N  with elements of a type implicitly convertible from 0  the following sets all the elements to values constructed from 0   std  fill a  a N  0     Note that this is not the same as  emptying  or  clearing    Edit  Following james Kanze s suggestion  in C  11 you could use the more idiomatic alternative  std  fill  std  begin  a    std  end  a    0      In the absence of C  11  you could roll out your own solution along these lines   template  lt typename T  std  size t N gt  T  end  T  amp arr  N     return arr   N     template  lt typename T  std  size t N gt  T  begin  T  amp arr  N     return arr     std  fill  begin   a    end   a    0

Should you want to clear the array with something other than a value  std  file wont cut it  instead I found std  generate useful  e g  I had a vector of lists I wanted to initialize  std  generate v begin    v end            return std  list lt X gt           You can do ints too e g   std  generate v begin    v end     n   0     mutable   return n          or just  std  generate v begin    v end           return 0        but I imagine std  fill is faster for the simplest case
