Arrays
Arrays
Array is a fixed-size sequenced collection of related data items that share a common name.
It is simply a grouping of similar type of data
Array is a derived data type
There are three types of arrays. They are
One-dimensional arrays
Two-dimensional arrays
Multi-dimensional arrays
One-dimensional arrays
A list of items can be given one variable name using only one subscript and such a variable is called a
single subscripted variable or a one-dimensional array
Declaration of One-dimensional arrays:
data type variable-name[size];
Datatype can be int, float, char, etc
The size indicates the maximum number of elements that can be stored inside the array.
For example:
int number[5];
Here 0,1,2,3,4 are the subscripts of the array number.
Subscript is also known as index.
The array is indexed from zero to its maximum size minus one.
The values to the array elements can be assigned as follows:
number [0] = 35;
number [1] = 40;
number [2] = 20;
number [3] = 57;
number [4] = 19;
Example 2:
char name[10]; = “WELL DONE”
It declares the name as a character array(string) variable that can hold a maximum of 10 characters.
Initialization of One-dimensional arrays:
An array can be initialized at two stages:
At Compile Time
At Run Time
datatype array-name [size] = { list of values };
The values in the list are separated by commas.
Example 1: int number [3] = { 1,5,6 };
Example 2: float total [5] ={0.0, 15.75, -10}; // the remaining two elements will be considered as zero
Example 3: int counter [ ] = {1, 1, 1, 1};// here the counter array initialized with four elements(1’s)
Example 4: char name [ ] = { ‘J’ , ’O’ , ’H’ , ’N’ , ’\0’ };
Or char name [ ] = “JOHN”;
Example 5: char city [5] = { ‘B’ }; will initialize the first element to ‘B’ and the remaining four to NULL.
Run Time Initialization:
An array can be initialized at run time
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ )
{
if ( i < 50 )
sum [i] = 0.0;
else
}
sum [i] = 1.0;
Two-dimensional arrays
A Two-dimensional array is a collection of rows and columns.
Each element of the array can be identified using two subscripts.
Declaration of Two-dimensional arrays:
The general form of Two-dimensional array declaration:
datatype array-name [row-size] [column-size];
The datatype can be int, float, char, etc.
The row-size indicates the maximum number of rows and column size indicates the maximum number of
columns that can be stored in the array.
example:
int table[2][3];
Representation of a two-dimensional array in memory:
Consider int a[4][3];
Initializing Two-dimensional arrays:
int table[2][3] = { 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1 };
Initialize the elements of the first row to zero and the second row to one.
Different type of Two-dimensional array initializations
The initialization is done row by row. That is, int table[2][3] = { { 0, 0, 0 }, { 1, 1, 1 } }; Here the elements of
each row are separating by braces and each pair of braces should be separated by comma.
The initialization is done in the form of a matrix.
int table[2][3] = {
{ 0, 0, 0 },
{ 1, 1, 1 }
};
Multidimensional arrays
Declaration of multi-dimensional arrays:
The general form of a multi-dimensional array declaration is :
data_type array_name [s1][s2][s3]…..[sn];
Where si is the size of the ith dimension.
Examples :
int survey[3][5][12];
float table[5][4][5][3];
