array

Chapter 5 discusses the concept of arrays in C programming, focusing on how to store and manage data for multiple students using one-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays. It explains the structure, initialization, and access methods for arrays, along with examples and assignments to practice these concepts. The chapter emphasizes the importance of understanding array dimensions and provides syntax for both one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays.

Exploring Array
How to store math marks for all Students?
• Suppose we have 10 students.

• So, we have to keep in mind two things-


1. Roll of a student
2. Mark of that student

• So, we need 10 variable to store marks –


roll_1, roll_2,........., roll_10

• What will happen if we have 100 students? [example]


Types of Array
• One dimensional Array

• Multi dimensional Array


One Dimensional Array
•In C, a one dimensional array is a list of variables that are
all of the same type and are accessed through a common
name.

•An individual variable in the array is called an array


element.
•It is useful to handle groups of related data.
One Dimensional Array….
• General form-
type var_name[size]

▪ type is a valid C data type.


▪ var_name is the name of the array
▪ size specifies the number of elements in the array

Type Array name Size – can hold


100 elements
One Dimensional Array….
• An array element is accessed by indexing the array using the
number of the element.
• In C, all arrays begin at zero.
One Dimensional Array….
Array - 1 (assign value)
Array…. Input from KB

•Array-2 (Input from KB)

•Single element access


Initialize Arrays
Variable Initialization Array Initialization
Be aware!
•Bounds checking
•Assign one entire to another
•Single element access
Assignment 1
Write a C program that will find the largest number among 10 user given
numbers of any data types.

Assignment 2
Find out the output of the following program.

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int a[8]={5,2,3,1,4,5,2},i;
for(i=0;i<8;i++){
if(a[i]%2==1)
printf(“%d ”,i);
}
return 0;
}
Array Dimension

One dimensional array consists of only one dimension(row). E.g. int a[10];

Multidimensional array consists of more than one dimension.


E.g: int a[5][2];
int a[5][3][2];
Two – Dimensional Array
•A two dimensional array is an array of
one dimensional arrays and most easily
thought of in row, column format.

•Syntax: data_type name[row][column];


int x[3][3];
2-D Array Initialization
1. Like 1-D array
int x[3][4] = {0, 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11}

2. Another approach (Row wise)

int x[3][4] = {{0,1,2,3}, {4,5,6,7}, {8,9,10,11}};


Examples
•Array-3 (Find biggest number)

•Array-4 (Sorting)
