I've seen this in either k&r2 or a C++ book. Can't remember which.
    An array say char array1[]={};
It's initializing an array to how a yet indetermined number of elements. C
is a small language. But it the beginning can be very confusing. At least to
me. Most newbies find pointers to be confusing and I'm still not quite sure
where & always comes into play.  I find among good C programmers that some
that are good and some that are greater. Depends on their experience I
guess.
