C compile error: “Variable-sized object may not be initialized”

Question

Why do I receive the error \"Variable-sized object may not be initialized\" with the following code?

int boardAux[length][length] = {{0}};

Answer 1

The array is not initialized with the memory specified anf throws an error variable sized array may not be initialised I prefer usual way of initialization,

for (i = 0; i <= bins; i++)
        arr[i] = 0;
