title: Initialize array of pointers to NULL
body: <p>here's to my first post on this website.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to initialize an array of 30 pointers to NULL. The array is stored as a global and I'm doing the initialization in my init() function like so:</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p><code>static headerT* free_list[30];</code></p>
  
  <p>....</p>
  
  <p><code>init() {
      free_list[30] = {NULL};
  }</code></p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>However, I get the following complier error - "error: expected expression before ‘{’ token".</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
