The document outlines the types of arrays in C programming, specifically one-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays. It details the syntax for declaring and initializing both types, with examples for single and two-dimensional arrays. Additionally, it provides exercises for practicing the declaration and initialization of two-dimensional arrays.

TYPES OF ARRAY IN C

There are 2 types of arrays


1. One dimensional array / Single dimensional array
2. Multi dimensional array
• Two dimensional array
• Three dimensional array
• four dimensional array etc…
ONE DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
• single dimensional arrays are used to store a row of
values.
• In single dimensional array, data is stored in linear
form.
• Single dimensional arrays are also called as one-
dimensional arrays.
• Syntax: datatype arrayName[size] ;
• Eg: int rollno[5]; // declaration
• Eg: int rollno[5]={1,2,3,4,5}; // Initialization
ONE DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
Example: int rollno[5]={1,2,3,4,5};

roll Array size= 5


no 1 2 3 4 5

0 1 2 3 4
MULTI DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
• An array of arrays is called as multi dimensional
array.
• Multi dimensional array can be of two dimensional
array or three dimensional array or four
dimensional array or more...
• Most popular and commonly used multi dimensional
array is two dimensional array.
• The 2D array is organized as matrices which can be
represented as the collection of rows and columns.
TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
• Declaration of Two Dimensional Array
Syntax:
datatype arrayName[rowSize][columnSize];

Eg: int a[2][3] ;


The above declaration of two dimensional array reserves
memory locations in the form of 2 rows and 3 columns.
Col 0 Col 1 Col 2
Row 0 a[0][0] a[0][1] a[0][2]
a
a[1][0] a[1][1] a[1][2]
Row 1
TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
• Initialization of Two Dimensional Array
Syntax:
datatype arrayName[rows][colmns] = {{r1c1, r1c2, ...},{r2c1,
r2c2,...}...} ;

Eg: int a[2][3] = { {1, 2, 3},{4, 5, 6} } ;


The above declaration of two-dimensional array reserves memory
locations in the form of 2 rows and 3 columns. And the first row is
initialized with values 1, 2 & 3 and second row is initialized with
values 4, 5 & 6.
Col 0 1 2
Row 0 1 2 3

1 4 5 6
TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
• Declaration of Two Dimensional Array
Syntax:
datatype arrayName[rowSize][columnSize];

• Eg: int a[3][3] ;


The above declaration of two dimensional array reserves
memory locations in the form of 3 rows and 3 columns.

Col 0 Col 1 Col 2


Row 0 a[0][0] a[0][1] a[0][2]
a
a[1][0] a[1][1] a[1][2]
Row 1
Row 2 a[2][0] a[2][1] a[2][2]
TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
• Initialization of Two Dimensional Array
Syntax:
datatype arrayName[rows][colmns] = {{r1c1, r1c2, ...},{r2c1,
r2c2,...}...} ;

Eg: int a[3][3] = { {1, 2, 3},{4, 5, 6}, {7,8,9} } ;


The above declaration of two-dimensional array reserves memory
locations in the form of 3 rows and 3 columns. And the first row is
initialized with values 1, 2 & 3 and second row is initialized with
values 4, 5 & 6 and third row is initialized with values 7,8 &9.

TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
• Declaration of Two Dimensional Array
Syntax:
datatype arrayName[rowSize][columnSize];

• Eg: int a[3][2] ;


The above declaration of two dimensional array reserves
memory locations in the form of 3 rows and 2 columns.

Col 0 Col 1
Row 0 a[0][0] a[0][1]

TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
• Initialization of Two Dimensional Array
Syntax:
datatype arrayName[rows][colmns] = {{r1c1, r1c2, ...},{r2c1,
r2c2,...}...} ;

Eg: int a[3][2] = { {1, 2},{4, 5}, {7,8} } ;


The above declaration of two-dimensional array reserves memory
locations in the form of 3 rows and 2 columns. And the first row is
initialized with values 1, 2 and second row is initialized with
values 4, 5 and third row is initialized with 7 and 8.

TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
Homework:
• Eg: int a[3][4] ;
The above declaration of two dimensional array reserves
memory locations in the form of 3 rows and 4 columns.

Fill the index values a[][] below:

Col 0 Col 1 Col 2 Col 3


Row 0 a[][] a[][] a[][] a[][]

a[][] a[][] a[][] a[][]
Row 1
Row 2 a[][] a[][] a[][] a[][]
TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
Homework:
Eg: int a[3][4] = { {1, 2,3,4},{5,6,7,8}, {9,10,11,12} } ;
The above declaration of two-dimensional array reserves memory
locations in the form of 3 rows and 4 columns. And the first row is
initialized with values 1, 2,3,4 and second row is initialized with
values 5,6,7,8 and third row is initialized with 9,10,11,12
