INTRODUCTION TO ARRAYS:
ARRAY DEFINITION
An array is a data structure that is used for the storage of homogenous data i.e., data
of the same type. An array is a collection of elements of same data type.
The data type of an element is called element type. The individual elements of an
array are distinguished and are referred to or accessed according to their positions in an
array.
The position of an element in an array is specified with an integer value known as
index or subscript. The array index in C starts with 0 i.e. index of the first element of an
array is 0. The memory space required by an array can be computed as size of element type
& number of elements in an array. Arrays are always stored in contiguous memory
location.
Classification
1. Single dimensional array/one dimensional array
2. Two dimensional array
3. Multi-dimensional array

SINGLE DIMENSIONAL ARRAY

It consists of a fixed number of elements of the same data type organized as a simple
linear sequence. The element of a single dimensional array can be accessed by using a
single subscript.

1. Declaration of Array
The general form of a single dimensional array declaration is
type variable_name [size];

IT22101 PROGRAMMING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING SVCE

A single dimensional array declaration consists of a type specifier i.e. element type,
an identifier i.e. name of array and a size specifier i.e. number of elements in the array
enclosed with in square brackets.
e.g. int number[5];
Consider array elements to be assigned as follows
number[0] = 12 number[1] = 22 number[2] = 33
number[3] = 44 number[4] = 56
This would cause the array number to be store the value as shown below

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4]

number 12 22 33 44 56

2. Initialization of Single dimensional Array

Like variable array can be initialized. The syntactic rules about the initialization of
array elements are follow
1. The element of an array can be initialized using an initialization list. An
initialization list is a comma separated list of initializers enclosed within braces.
2. An initializer is an expression that determines the initial value of an element of
the array.
3. If the type of initializer is not the same as the element type of array, implicit type
casting will be done, if the type are compatible. Otherwise there will be a
compilation error.
4. The number of initializer in the initialization list should be less than or at most
equal to the value of size of specifier.
General Form
type array-name [size]={ list of values };
Example
int a[5] = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 };
will declare the variable a as an array of size 5 and will initialize the array with 1,
3, 5, 7, 9assigned
int a[5] = {1, 3, 5};

IT22101 PROGRAMMING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING SVCE

will initialize the first three elements to 1, 3, 5 and the remaining two elements to zero.
The size may be omitted. In such cases, the compiler allocated enough space for all
initialized elements.
int a[] = { 1, 3, 5, 6 };
will declare the a array to contain four elements with initial values 1, 3, 5 and 6.
3. Reading Elements of Single – Dimensional Array
An iteration statement is used for reading the elements of a single – dimensional
array
General Form
for ( i=0; i< size of array ; i++)
scanf(“control string”, &array_name[i]);
where i is the index variable. We can use any integer variable as index variable.
Example
int a[5];
The elements of the array can be read using the following statement
for ( i=0; i< 5 ; i++)
scanf(“%d”, &a[i]);

4. Accessing Single dimensional array

The element of a single dimensional array can be accessed by using a subscript
operator and a subscript.
The General form
array-name[index]
Example
int a[5] = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 };
printf(“%d”,a[0]);
will print the element of the array a at position 0 i.e. 1.
PREPARED BY

IT22101 PROGRAMMING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING SVCE

printf(“%d”,a[2]);
will print the element of the array a at position 2 i.e. 5.

TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY

C allows us to define tables of items by using two –dimensional array.
1. Declaration of Array
The general form of a Two single dimensional array declaration is
type variable_name [row_size][Column_size];
Each dimension of the array is indexed from zero to its maximum size minus one;
the first index selects the row and the second index selects the column within that row.
Representation
e.g. int number[4][3];

Column Column Column

0 1 2
[0][0] [0][1] [0][2]
Row[0]
[1][0] [1][1] [1][2]
Row[1]
[2][0] [2][1] [2][2]
Row[2]
[3][0] [3][1] [3][2]
Row[3]

Consider array elements to be assigned as follows

number[0] = 12 number[1] = 22 number[2] = 33

PREPARED BY
R.GNANAVEL AP/CSE
IT22101 PROGRAMMING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING SVCE

number[3] = 44 number[4] = 56
This would cause the array number to be store the value as shown below

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4]

number 12 22 33 44 56

2. Initialization of Single dimensional Array

Like one dimensional array, two dimensional array may be initialized.
Example
int table[2][3] = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 2 };
and the values to be stores as

Column Column Column

0 1 2
[0][0] [0][1] [0][2]
Row[0] 1 3 5
[1][0] [1][1] [1][2]
Row[1] 7 8 2

We can also initialize the above two dimensional array in the form of a matrix as
shown below
int table[2][3] = {
{ 1, 3, 5},
{ 7, 8, 2 }
};

PREPARED BY
R.GNANAVEL AP/CSE
IT22101 PROGRAMMING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING SVCE

When the array is completely initialized with all values we need not specify the size
of the first dimension. That is
int table[ ][3] = {
{ 1, 3, 5},
{ 7, 8, 2 }
};
is permitted.

3. Reading Elements of Single – Dimensional Array

An iteration statements is used for reading the elements of a two – dimensional array
General Form
for ( i=0; i< row_size; i++)
for(j=0; j< column_size; j++)
scanf(“control string”, &array_name[i][j]);
where I, j are the index variables. We can use any integer variable as index variable.
Example
int table[2][3];
The elements of the array can be read using the following statement
for ( i=0; i< 2 ; i++)
for( j=0; j<3; j++ )
scanf(“%d”, &table[i][j]);

4. Accessing Single dimensional array

The element of a single dimensional array can be accessed by using a subscript
operator and a subscript.

PREPARED BY

IT22101 PROGRAMMING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING SVCE

The General form

array-name[row_index][column_index]
Example
int table[2][3] = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 2 };
printf(“%d”,table[0][0]);
will print the element of the array table at row 0 and column 0 i.e. 1.
printf(“%d”, table[1][2]);
will print the element of the array table at row 1 and column 2 that is 2.

STRINGS
STRING MANIPULATION
In ‘C’ language the group of character, digits, and symbols enclosed within
quotation marks are called as string otherwise strings are array of characters. Null character
(‘\0’) is used to mark the end of the string.

Example:
char name[]={‘B’,’A’,’B’,’U’,’\0’};
Each character is stored in one byte of memory and successive characters of the
string are stored in successive byte.
Memory map of string

String B A B U
Address 5001 5002 5003 5004

INITIALIZATION OF STRING
The string can be initialized as follows.
char name[]=”BABU”;
The characters of the string are enclosed within a pair of double quotes.
The initialization of NULL character is not essential because the C compiler inserts
the NULL (\0) character automatically at the end of the string.

READING AND WRITING STRING

The ‘%s’ control string can be used in scanf() statement to read a string from the
terminal and the same may be used to write string to the terminal in printf() statement.
Example:
char name[10];
scanf(“%s”,name);
printf(“%s”,name);

STRINGS STANDARD FUNCTIONS

C compiler provides the following string handling functions.
S.NO FUNCTION PURPOSE
1. Strlen() Used to find length of the string
2. Strcpy() Used to copy one string to another
3. Strcat() Used to combine two strings
4. Strcmp() Used to compare characters of two strings(difference between
small and capital letters)
5. Strrev() Used to reverse a string
6. Strlwr() Used to convert strings into lower case
7. Strupr() Used to convert strings into upper case
8. Strdup() Used to duplicate a string
9. Strncpy() used to copy first ‘n’ characters of one string into another
10. Strncmp() Used to compare first ‘n’ characters of two strings
11. Strcmpi() Used to compare two strings without regarding the case.
12. Strncmpi() Used to compare first ‘n’ characters of two strings without
regarding the case.
13. Stricmp() Compare two strings(Not difference between small and capital
letters)
14. Strchr() Determines first occurrence of a given character in a string
15. Strrchr() Determines last occurrence of a given character in a string
16. Strstr() Determines first occurrence of a given string in another string
17. Strncat() Appends source string to destination string upto specified length.
18. Strnset() Sets specified number of characters of string with a given
argument or symbol.
19. Strspn() Finds upto what length two strings are identical.
20. Strbrk() Searches the first occurrence of the character in a given string and
then it displays the string from that character.

The strlen() function

This function is used to count and return the number of characters present in a string.

Syntax:
var=strlen(string);

Example:
/*Program to Find Length of a String*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
char s1[20];
int n;
clrscr();
printf("\nEnter the String\n");
scanf("%s",s1);
n=strlen(s1);
printf("\nThe Length of the Given String is %d",n);
getch();
}

Sample Input / Output

Enter the String
Welcome
The Length of the Given String is 7

The strcpy() function

This function is used to copy the contents of one string to another and it almost
works like string assignment operator.

Syntax:
strcpy(string1,string2);
i.e., The contents of string2 is assigned to the contents of string1.

Example:
/*Program to Copy a String into another String*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
char s1[20],s2[20];

scanf("%s",s1);
strcpy(s2,s1);
printf("\nThe Copied String is %s",s2);
getch();
}

Sample Input / Output

Enter the String1
Welcome
The Copied String is Welcome

The strcat() function

The strcat() function is used to concatenate or combine, two strings together and
forms a new concatenated string.

Syntax:
strcat(string1,string2);
When the above strcat() function is executed, string2 is combined with string1 and it
removes the null character (\0) of string1 and places string2 from there.

Example:
/*Program to Concate two Strings*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
char s1[20],s2[20];
clrscr();
printf("\nEnter the String1\n");
scanf("%s",s1);
printf("\nEnter the String 2\n");
scanf("%s",s2);
strcat(s1,s2);
printf("\nThe Concatenated String is %s",s1);
getch();
}

Morning
The Concatenated String is GoodMorning

The strcmp() function

This is a function which compares two strings to find out whether they are same or
different. The two strings are compared character by character until the end of one of the
string is reached. If the two strings are identical strcmp() returns a value zero. If they are
not equal, it returns the numeric difference between the first non-matching characters.

Syntax:
Strcmp(string1,string2);

Example:
/*Program to Compare two Strings*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
char s1[20],s2[20];
clrscr();
printf("\nEnter the String1\n");
scanf("%s",s1);
printf("\nEnter the String 2\n");
scanf("%s",s2);
if(strcmp(s1,s2)>0)
printf("\n%s Comes Before %s",s2,s1);
else if(strcmp(s1,s2)<0)
printf("\n%s Comes Before %s",s1,s2);
else
printf("\n%s Equals to %s",s1,s2);
