[c] Zero an array in C code

How can I zero a known size of an array without using a for or any other loop ?

For example:

arr[20] = 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;

This is the long way... I need it the short way.

int arr[20];
memset(arr, 0, sizeof arr);

See the reference for memset

man bzero

NAME
   bzero - write zero-valued bytes

SYNOPSIS
   #include <strings.h>

   void bzero(void *s, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
   The  bzero()  function sets the first n bytes of the byte area starting
   at s to zero (bytes containing '\0').

int arr[20] = {0} would be easiest if it only needs to be done once.

Using memset:

int something[20];
memset(something, 0, 20 * sizeof(int));

Note: You can use memset with any character.

Example:

int arr[20];
memset(arr, 'A', sizeof(arr));

Also could be partially filled

int arr[20];
memset(&arr[5], 0, 10);

But be carefull. It is not limited for the array size, you could easily cause severe damage to your program doing something like this:

int arr[20];
memset(arr, 0, 200);

It is going to work (under windows) and zero memory after your array. It might cause damage to other variables values.
