Initialization of a large const array?

Question

Are there anyway to initialize a large const array without typing every single elements within it, for instance:

trying to create a array:

const double A[1000] = {1.0/1, 1.0/2, 1.0/3,...,1.0/1000};

It's easy to do with a loop.

Answer 1

If it really has to be const and you have 1000 different values write some kiddy app/script to spit it out as a header file and prevent your typing! That gives you an easy way to modify the whole array initialisation later if need be too.
