    This document provides an introduction to learning arrays. It defines an array as a series of memory locations that share the same name and hold data of the same type. Arrays allow storing multiple items of the same type in an organized structure. The document discusses key properties of arrays like fixed size, contiguous memory allocation, and random element access. It also covers declaration, one-dimensional and multi-dimensional array types.

    INTRO TO

    LEARNING
    ARRAYS
    WHAT IS AN ARRAY?

    01

    A variable is a memory location that can store a value. It can be


    thought of as a box in which values are stored. The value held in
    the box can change, or vary. But each variable can only hold one
    item of data.

    02

    An array is a series of memory locations – or ‘boxes’ – each of


    which holds a single item of data, but with each box sharing the
    same name. All data in an array must be of the same data type
    .
    UNDERSTANDING
    ARRAYS
    THINK OF AN ARRAY AS A ROW OF CELLS, EACH

    CELL REPRESENTS AN ELEMENT:

    NAMING ARRAYS, ARRAYS ARE NAMED LIKE

    VARIABLES. THE NUMBER IN BRACKETS

    DETERMINES HOW MANY DATA ITEMS THE

    ARRAY CAN HOLD.

    THE ARRAY SCORE(9) WOULD ALLOW TEN DATA

    ITEMS TO BE STORED.

    ANY FACILITY THAT HOLDS MORE THAN ONE

    ITEM OF DATA IS KNOWN AS A DATA

    STRUCTURE. THEREFORE, AN ARRAY IS A DATA

    STRUCTURE.

    Advantage of Array

    1) Code Optimization: Less code to the


    access the data.
    2) Ease of traversing: By using the for loop,
    we can retrieve the elements of an array
    easily.
    3) Ease of sorting: To sort the elements of
    the array, we need a few lines of code only.
    4) Random Access: We can access any
    element randomly using the
    Disadvantage of Array

    Fixed Size: Whatever size, we define at the time of


    declaration of the array, we can't exceed the limit.
    So, it doesn't grow the size dynamically like Linked
    List which we will learn later.

    Properties of Array
    The array contains the following properties.
    1. Each element of an array is of same data
    type and carries the same size, i.e., int = 4
    bytes.
    2. Elements of the array are stored at contiguous
    memory locations where the first element is
    stored at the smallest memory location.
    3. Elements of the array can be randomly
    accessed since we can calculate the address of
    each element of the array with the given base
    address and the size of the data element.
    Declaration of Array
    Types of Array

    one -Dimensional Array

    A one-dimensional array is a
    kind of linear array. It involves
    single sub-scripting. The []
    (brackets) is used for the
    subscript of the array and to
    declare and access the
    elements from the array.
    Syntax: DataType ArrayName
    [size];
    For example: int a[10];

    Multi-Dimensional Arrays

    An array involving two subscripts [] [] is known as


    a two-dimensional array. They are also known as
    the array of the array. Two-dimensional arrays
    are divided into rows and columns and are able
    to handle the data of the table.
    Syntax: DataType ArrayName[row_size]
    [column_size];
    For Example: int arr[5][5];
