Name of array (Note that all elements of this array have the same name, my_array) -45 my_array[0] 6 my_array[1] 0 my_array[2] 72 my_array[3] 1543 my_array[4] -89 my_array[5] 0 my_array[6] 62 my_array[7] -3 my_array[8] 1 my_array[9] 6453 my_array[10] 78 my_array[11] Position number of the element within array my_array Arrays • Array • Group of consecutive memory locations • Same name and type, ex: an array of integers • To refer to an element, specify • Array name • Position number of particular element in the array • Format: array_name[position number] • First element at position 0 • n element array named c: • c[ 0 ], c[ 1 ]...c[ n – 1 ] Example: int my_array[12] my_array[0]= -45 value stored • Position number must be an integer number or an integer expression Example: my_array[1.5] ERROR!! my_array[i+j] valid if i and j are integers
Arrays (cont.) • Array elements are like normal variables my_array[8]= -3; scanf("%d", &my_array[8]); printf("%d",my_array[8]); Perform operations in subscript. If x equals 3: my_array[ 5 - 2 ] == my_array[ 3 ] == my_array[ x ] • Declaring Arrays • When declaring arrays, specify • Name • Type of array • Number of elements: arrayType arrayName[numberOfElements]; Examples: int c[ 100 ];/* reserve memory sufficient enough to store 100 elements of type integer */ float myArray[ 3284 ];
Arrays (cont.) • Declaring multiple arrays of same type: format similar to regular variables Example: int b[ 100 ], x[ 27 ]; • Arrays may be declared to contain other data types Example: int a[ 100 ]; float b[ 100 ]; char c[ 100 ]; /* Strings are stored by using character arrays */ Example: #include <stdio.h> /* a simple program that uses arrays */ main( { int i, array_int[100]; for (i=0; i<100; i++) array_int[i]=0; for (i=0; i<100; i++) printf(“element %d: %d\n”, i, array_int[i]); }
Arrays (cont.) • Initializers int n[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; Example:main() { int i, a[10]={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}; for (i=0; i<10; i++) printf(“Element: %d\n”, a[i]); } • If there are fewer initializations than elements in the array, then the remaining elements are automatically initialized to 0. int n[5] = {0}/* All elements 0 */ int a[10] = {1, 2} /* a[2] to a[9] are initialized to zeros */ int b[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} /* syntax error */ • C arrays have no bounds checking • If size omitted, initializers determine it int n[ ] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; /* 5 initializers, therefore 5 element array */ • Scalable Arrays: a better programming style #define SIZE 10 int c[SIZE]; /* defines a symbolic constant size with value 10 */
Arrays (cont.) Example: #include <stdio.h> #define SIZE 100 main() { int i, a[SIZE]; int sum = 0; … for (i=0; i < SIZE; i++) sum = sum + a[i]; printf(“sum: %d\n, sum); }
