Module 16

The document outlines the objectives for students to learn about static arrays in programming, including how to declare and initialize them. It explains the characteristics of static arrays, including fixed size and memory allocation at compile time, and provides examples of array declarations and access methods. Additionally, it includes a C++ program example for user input and accessing array elements.

Objectives:

At the end of the discussion, the students should be able to;


1. Write a program that may apply the static array.
2. Trace data from codes with static arrays.
An array is a series of elements of the same type placed in contiguous memory
locations that can be individually referenced by adding an index to a unique
identifier.
Static arrays allocated memory at compile time and their size is fixed, and cannot
be changed later.

Declaration of arrays:
type name [elements];

• type – a data type ( int, double, char)


• name – identifier (variables, names)
• elements – size of the array in terms of the number of elements
Example:
int foo [5];
A int data type with a name foo with 5 elements.
• Meaning – the foo array only have 5 elements memory size and it is not be
change since it is a static array.

Note: The 1st element in array is always initialized as 0, meaning if foo have 6
elements then panel numbering will be 0-5 to locate all foo elements in the
panel.

0 1 2 3 4
foo
regular arrays of local scope (for example, those declared within a function) are
left uninitialized. This means that none of its elements are set to any particular
value; their contents are undetermined at the point the array is declared.
But the elements in an array can be initialized to specific values when it is
declared, by enclosing those initial values in braces {}.

Example:
int foo [5] = { 16, 2, 77, 40, 12071 }; or int foo [] = { 16, 2, 77, 40, 12071 };
Represented as

0 1 2 3 4
foo 16 2 77 40 12071
The number of values between braces {} shall not be greater than the number of
elements in the array.
Example:
int foo [5] = { 16, 2, 77}; or int foo [] = { 16, 2, 77};

0 1 2 3 4
foo 16 2 77 0 0

When NO VALUES in {}
int foo [5] = {};

0 1 2 3 4
foo 0 0 0 0 0
Access the value of any of the elements in an array
Declaration:
name[index]
name is the identifier
index is the location of the value will be pull out within the array – int foo [5] = {
16, 2, 77, 40, 12071 };
foo 0 foo 1 foo 2 foo 3 foo 4
16 2 77 40 12071

Example:
foo [2] returns the value 77
foo [4] returns the value 12071
foo [5] will not return a value, the location is only 0-4 which is the 5
element
1. Create a C++ program that allows the user to choose what
element to access from {52, 85, 77, 21, 85, 54, 58, 32, 100, 98}.
2. Create a C++ program that lets users input an initialized value
for eight (8) elements.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int element[8];
for(int x=0; x<=8;x++)
{
cout<<"Input value: ";
cin>>element[x];
}

cout<<"OUTPUT: ";
for(int y=0; y<=8;y++)
{
cout<<element[y]<<" ,";
}
return 0;
}
