Programming in c

array
An array is a collection of elements of same data
type stored in contiguous memory locations and
accessed using single name with an index.
Why arrays?
 Stores multiple values using one variable
 Easy data handing
 Faster access using index
 Used in searching, sorting, matrices, etc.
Declaration of Array
data_type array_name[size];
int a[5];
Initialization of array
1. At declaration time
int a[5]= {10, 20, 30, 40,50};
2. Without size
int a[]= {1, 2, 3, 4};
3. Partial initialization
int a[5] = {1, 2};
Accessing array elements
 Array elements are accessed using the array
name and index number.
 Index starts from 0
Accessing elements using loop
Example: Output:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){ 12345
int a[5] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int i;
for(i = 0; i<5; i++){
printf(“%d”, a[i]);}
return 0;}
Accessing elements using scanf
#incude <stdio.h>
int main(){
int a[3], I;
for(i = 0; i < 3; i++){
scanf(“%d”, &a[i]);
}
for(i = 0; i < 3; i++){
printf(“%d”, a[i]);
}
return 0;
}
Types of Array
1. One- dimensional Array(1D Array)
 A linear list of elements stored in continuous
memory.
 Used for storing marks, salaries , list of
numbers.
int a[5] = {4, 8, 12, 16, 20};
2. Two- dimensional array(2d)
An array of arrays(rows and columns) matrix
form
Declaration
int a[2][3];
Initialization:
int a[2][3] = {{1,2,3} , {4,5,6});
Example: Matrix addition
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
int a[2][2], b[2][2], sum[2][2];
int i, j;
Printf(“Enter elements of matixA:\n”);
for(i =0 ; i< 2; i++){
for (j = 0; j<2; j++){
scanf (“%d”, &a[i][j]);}}
Printf(“Enter elements of matixB:\n”);
for(i =0 ; i< 2; i++){
for (j = 0; j<2; j++){
scanf (“%d”, &b[i][j]);}}
for(i =0 ; i< 2; i++){
for (j = 0; j<2; j++){
Sum[i][j]= a[i][j] + b[i][j];}}
Printf(“sum of matices:\n”);
for(i =0 ; i< 2; i++){
for (j = 0; j<2; j++){
scanf (“%d”, sum[i][j]);}
printf(“\n”);
} return 0;}
