pointer array?

xl97:
Hi gang-

I have a question on using arrays.

normal usage:

byte buttons[] = {5, 6, 3, 9};

can it be done like this instead:

const int safetyPin = 5;
const int normalPin = 6;
const int autoPin = 3;
const int reloadPin = 9;

byte buttons[] = {safetyPin, normalPIn, autoPin, reloadPin};

I guess an arrays of variables? or references to pin(s)?
this way I can also refer to them by pin name else where..etc..

Thanks

Learn about enumerators (enum), they can also help you keep your code straighter.
