PDF On Array New

The document discusses C arrays, including defining one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and character arrays, initializing array elements, and accessing array elements. Arrays allow storing and managing multiple values of the same data type under one name, and elements can be accessed using an index. The document provides examples of declaring, initializing, and accessing different types of arrays in C.

1 Definition of Array And Types

• Array: An array is a collection of homogenious data


elements(i.e same data type) described by a single
name.Every array elements represented by an integer
value is called subscript or array index so it is also called
as subscripted variable.
• Type of Array: There are three types of array –
• (i)1-Dimentional Array
• (ii)2-Dimentional Array
• (iii)Multi-Dimentional Array
2.Advantages of variables/ arrays

• Arrays represent multiple data items of the same type


using a single name.
• In arrays, the elements can be accessed randomly by
using the index number.
• Arrays allocate memory in contiguous memory locations
for all its elements.
• Using arrays, other data structures like linked lists,
stacks, queues, trees, graphs etc can be implemented.
• Two-dimensional arrays are used to represent matrices.
3.1 Declaration and initialization of one
dimensional arrays

Syntax of declaration of 1-D array: data_type array_name[size];

Example:int a[10];
Compile time initialization:
process(1):int a[10]={10,21,3,20,65,42,51,58,35,11};
process(2):int a[]={10,21,3,20,65,42,51,58,35,11};

Memory Representation:
3.2 Declaration and initialization of two
dimensional arrays
• Multidimensional arrays may be initialized by specifying
bracketed values for each row.
• Following is an array with 3 rows and each row has 4
columns.
int a[3][4] = {
{0, 1, 2, 3} , /* initializers for row indexed by 0 */
{4, 5, 6, 7} , /* initializers for row indexed by 1
*/
{8, 9, 10, 11} /* initializers for row indexed by 2
*/
};
OR
• int a[3][4] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11};
3.3 Declaration and initialization of
charecter arrays

• char name[13] = "StudyTonight"; // valid character array


initialization
• har name[10] = {'L','e','s','s','o','n','s','\0'}; // valid
initialization
3.4 Accessing array element
4. Accessing array element
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
/* an array with 5 rows and 2 columns*/
int a[5][2] = { {0,0}, {1,2}, {2,4}, {3,6},{4,8}};
int i, j;
/* output each array element's value */
for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
{
for ( j = 0; j < 2; j++ )
{
printf("a[%d][%d] = %d\n", i,j, a[i][j] );
}
}
return 0;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result −

a[0][0]: 0
a[0][1]: 0
a[1][0]: 1
a[1][1]: 2
a[2][0]: 2
a[2][1]: 4
a[3][0]: 3
a[3][1]: 6
a[4][0]: 4
a[4][1]: 8
