class array default setting c++

You can value-initialize all of the elements of the array using this syntax, eg:

recordtype listof[11]();

Which, in your example, will default-construct all of the string fields, and set all of the char fields to 0.

Though, in this case, it would be better to give recordtype a default constructor to initialize its members as needed, and then let the recordtype listof[11]; syntax call that constructor on each element for you.

Otherwise, you can specify actual values for specific elements, eg:

recordtype listof[11]{ // or: = {
    {"name1", "name2", 'A'},
    {"name1", "name2", 'B'},
    // and so on...
};

In this case, any array element(s) that are not explicitly initialized will be value-initialized.
