Using i/o via an array

Projects Programming
1

I'm trying to get my head around arrays in C.

I can do the following as to assign i/o pins via an array
int pins [6] = { 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13 }

However, can I assign a name to a pin and then use it in the array

const int Button1 = 3;
int pins [6] = { Button1, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13 }

thanks for any clarification

What did the compiler tell you?

If you didn't ask, why not?

If you had, it would have said something along the lines of "Success".

Ha

I was so busy thinking about it, before buggering of to work, that I missed the obvious.
