Is it possible to send array over network?

Question

I'm using C++ and wondering if I can just send an entire int array over a network (using basic sockets) without doing anything. Or do I have to split the data up and send it one at a time?

Answer 1

Yes.

An array will be laid out sequentially in memory so you are free to do this. Simply pass in the address of the first element and the amount of data and you'll send all data.
