ARRAY
In C programming, one of the frequently arising problem is to handle
similar types of data.
For example: If the user want to store marks of 100 students. This can
be done by creating 100 variable individually but, this process is rather
tedious and impracticable. These type of problem can be handled in C
programming using arrays.
An array is a sequence of data item of homogeneous value(same type).
All the data items of an array are stored in consecutive memory
locations in RAM.
The elements of an array are of same data type and each item can be
accessed using the same name.
7
TYPES OF ARRAYS
• Array is of three types:
8
Declaration of 1-D Array
•Declaration of one-dimensional array: We know that all the variables are declared before they are
used in the program. Similarly, an array must be declared before it is used.
•During declaration, the size of the array has to be specified. The size used during declaration of the
array informs the compiler to allocate and reserve the specified memory locations.
data_type array_name[array_size];
For example:
int age[5];
Here, the name of array is age. The size of array is 5,i.e., there are 5 items(elements) of array age.
All element in an array are of the same type (int, in this case).
9
Array Elements
• Each element of array can be accessed and used by user according to the need of
program.
For example:
int age[5];
• Note that, the first element is numbered 0 and so on.
• Here, the size of array age is 5 times the size of int because there are 5 elements.
• Suppose, the starting address of age[0] is 2120d and the size of int be 4 bytes.
Then, the next address (address of a[1]) will be 2124d, address of a[2] will
be2128d and so on.
10
Initialization of 1-D Array
Initialization of one-dimensional array:
• Arrays can be initialized at declaration time in this source code as:
int age[5]={2,4,34,3,4};
• It is not necessary to define the size of arrays during initialization.
int age[]={2,4,34,3,4};
• In this case, the compiler determines the size of array by calculating the number
of elements of an array
11
Example of 1-D Array
Program to take 5 values from the user and store them in an array.
#include<stdio.h> printf("Displaying integers: ");
int main() { for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
int values[5]; {
printf("Enter 5 integers: "); printf("%d\n", values[i]);
for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) }
{ return 0;
scanf("%d", &values[i]); }
}
Here, we have used a for loop to take 5 inputs from the
user and store them in an array. Then, using another for
loop, these elements are displayed on the screen 12
Example of 1-D Array
Program to find the average of n numbers using arrays
#include<stdio.h> average = sum/n;
int main() { printf("Average = %d", average);
int marks[10], i, n, sum = 0, average }
printf("Enter number of elements: "); return 0;
scanf("%d", &n); for(i=0; i<n; ++i) }
{
printf("Enter number%d: ",i+1);
scanf("%d", &marks[i]);
sum += marks[i];
}
Here, we have computed the average of n numbers
entered by the user.

Summary
• Array is defined as an ordered set of similar data items
• During declaration of an array the size of the array has to be
specified.
• Arrays can be initialized at declaration time in this source code
