Can one use memset to fill an array of std::complex<float>s?

c++, complex-numbers, fill, memset, std

Solution

`std::memset` takes as second parameter an int converted to an unsigned char, it won't work. Use `std::fill` instead

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/fill/

cjzyp = new std::complex<float>[100]
std::fill(cjzyp, cjzyp + 100, std::complex<float>(-1.0, 0.0));
delete [] cjzyp;

Problem

Specifically, I'm wondering if this line: ``` memset(cjzyp,(0,0),size_cjzy*sizeof(std::complex<float>)); ``` will fill `cjzyp`, an array of `complex<float>`s, with the complex zero value (`(0,0)`).
