Arrays or One Dimentional Arrays: Definition

The document defines and provides examples of one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional arrays in C programming. It explains that arrays allow storing multiple values in a single variable through subscripting. Elements are stored contiguously in memory. Examples demonstrate declaring and initializing arrays, accessing elements, and nested for loops to traverse multi-dimensional arrays.

Arrays or one dimentional arrays

Definition: Array is a collection of similar elements of same data type such as int, float, char , etc. Explanation: To store more than one value at a time in a single variable. This

is called subscripted variable ([]) or array.


Before using an array its type and size must be declared The first element in array is numbered 0

Last element is 1 less than the size of array


Its elements are always stored in contiguous memory location An array can be initialised at the same place where it is declared

Syntax:

datatype subscripted_variable[arraysize];

Example :

int n[6]={1,2,3,4,5,6}; int n[]={1,2,3,4,5,6};

int specifies the type of the variable

n is name of variable
[] tells compiler dealing with array 6 tells how many elements in array . This is called dimension of

array
Dimension of array is optional. This mentioned in 2nd example. There is no value in subscript.

Storage structure
n[5] n[4] n[3] n[2] n[1]

Two dimentional array


Definition:
It is a collection of number of 1-D arrays placed one after another . It is also called matrix.

Syntax datatype subscripted_variable[size1][size2];

Example :
main() { int n[5][2] = {

int i , j ;

} ;

{ { { { {

1 2 3 4 5

, , , , ,

2 5 4 5 6

} } } } }

, , , ,

for(i=0;i<=4;i++) { for(j=0;j<=1;j++) { printrf( %d ,n[i][j]); } } `

Three dimentional array

Definition:
It is a collection of number of 2-D arrays placed one after
another . It is also called as array of array.

Syntax datatype subscripted_variable[size1][size2][size3];

Example
main() { int n[2][2][2] = { { {1,2} , {2,3} } , { {3,4}. {4,5} } }; Int I,j,k; For(i=0;i<=1;i++) { for(j=0;j<=1;j++) { for(k=0;k<=1;k++)

printf( %d , n[i]i[j][k]) ;
