Need of Array Variable
Suppose we need to store rollno of the student in the integer variable.
Declaration
int rollno;
Now we need to store rollno of 100 students.
Declaration
int rollno101, rollno102, rollno103, rollno104...;
This is not appropriate to declare these many integer variables.
e.g. 100 integer variables for rollno.
Solution to declare and store multiple variables of similar type is an array.
An array is a variable that can store multiple values.

Definition: Array
An array is a fixed size sequential collection of elements of same data type grouped
under single variable name.
[0] [1] [2] … [99]
int rollno[100];
Fixed Size Sequential Same Data type Single Name
Here, the size of an array It is indexed to 0 to 99 in All the elements (0-99) All the elements (0-99)
is 100 (fixed) to store sequence will be integer variables will be referred as a
rollno common name rollno

Declaring an array
Syntax By default array index starts
data-type variable-name[size]; with 0.
If we declare an array of size
5 then its index ranges from 0
Integer Array [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] to 4.
int mark[5];
First element will be store at
mark[0] and last element will
integer be stored at mark[4] not
mark[5].
Float Array [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] Like integer and float array we
float avg[5];
can declare array of type
char.
float

Initialing and Accessing an Array
Declaring, initializing and accessing single integer variable
int mark=90; //variable mark is initialized with value 90
printf("%d",mark); //mark value printed
Declaring, initializing and accessing integer array variable
int mark[5]={85,75,76,55,45}; //mark is initialized with 5 values
printf("%d",mark[0]); //prints 85
printf("%d",mark[1]); //prints 75
printf("%d",mark[2]); //prints 65
printf("%d",mark[3]); //prints 55
printf("%d",mark[4]); //prints 45
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4]
mark[5] 85 75 65 55 45

5 for(i=0;i<10;i++) Enter array element=3
6 { Enter array element=4
7 printf("Enter array element="); Enter array element=5
8 scanf("%d",&num[i]); Enter array element=-1
9 } Enter array element=-2
10 for(i=0;i<10;i++) Enter array element=3
11 { Enter array element=4
12 if(num[i]>0) Enter array element=5
13 pos=pos+1; Positive=8,Negative=2

1 void main()
2 { Output
3 int num[100],n,i; Enter number of array
4 printf("Enter number of array elements="); elements=5
5 scanf("%d",&n); Enter array element=1
6 //loop will scan n elements only Enter array element=2
7 for(i=0;i<n;i++) Enter array element=3
8 { Enter array element=4
9 printf("Enter array element="); Enter array element=5
10 scanf("%d",&num[i]); 5
11 } 4
12 //negative loop to print array in reverse order 3

Multi Dimensional Array
Declaring 2 Dimensional Array
Syntax A two dimensional array can
data-type variable-name[x][y]; be seen as a table with ‘x’
rows and ‘y’ columns.
Declaration The row number ranges from
int data[3][3]; //This array can hold 9 elements 0 to (x-1) and column
number ranges from 0 to
(y-1).
int data[3][3];
Column-0 Column-1 Column-2
Row-0 data[0][0] data[0][1] data[0][2]
