Custom array item names Like PHP (array[item]) but in C

[señorbadger]

in php you can make an array item like this $bob["hello"] instead of having to use $bob[0] is this possible in classic ansi C ?

Nope, it's not possible.



(In case you're still interested, you can use the Map template class from the Standard Template Library to achieve the same effect.)

(But only in C++. In C, you have to use a procedural implementation of a map, if you can find one. Oh, and the STL map is called map, not Map.)
