If the initializer list is shorter than the number of elements in the array then the remaining elements are set to zero.
If the initializer list is shorter than the number of elements in the array then the remaining elements are set to zero. The empty list initializes all elements to zero:
word allzero[10] = {}
It is also possible to use string literals as array initializers. This is usually used with arrays of `byte` to initialize strings, for example:

Finally, note that string literals may also be used to initialize `word` arrays:
Note that string literals may also be used to initialize `word` arrays:
word vals[10] = "ABCABCABC"

Array elements begin from 0, so the array `storage` above has elements from 0 to 9.
