Introduction • Arrays • Structures of related data items • Static entity – same size throughout program 2M. Hammad Waseem
Arrays • Array • Group of consecutive memory locations • Same name and type • To refer to an element, specify • Array name • Position number • Format: arrayname[ position number ] • First element at position 0 • n element array named c: • c[ 0 ], c[ 1 ]...c[ n – 1 ] 3 Name of array (Note that all elements of this array have the same name, c) Position number of the element within array c c[6] -45 6 0 72 1543 -89 0 62 -3 1 6453 78 c[0] c[1] c[2] c[3] c[11] c[10] c[9] c[8] c[7] c[5] c[4] M. Hammad Waseem
Arrays • Array elements are like normal variables c[ 0 ] = 3; printf( "%d", c[ 0 ] ); • Perform operations in subscript. If x equals 3 c[ 5 - 2 ] == c[ 3 ] == c[ x ] 4M. Hammad Waseem
Declaring Arrays • When declaring arrays, specify • Name • Type of array • Number of elements arrayType arrayName[ numberOfElements ]; • Examples: int c[ 10 ]; float myArray[ 3284 ]; • Declaring multiple arrays of same type • Format similar to regular variables • Example: int b[ 100 ], x[ 27 ]; 5M. Hammad Waseem
Examples Using Arrays • Initializers int n[ 5 ] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; • If not enough initializers, rightmost elements become 0 int n[ 5 ] = { 0 } • All elements 0 • If too many a syntax error is produced 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 6M. Hammad Waseem
Multiple-Subscripted Arrays • Multiple subscripted arrays • Tables with rows and columns (m by n array) • Like matrices: specify row, then column 7 Row 0 Row 1 Row 2 Column 0 Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 a[ 0 ][ 0 ] a[ 1 ][ 0 ] a[ 2 ][ 0 ] a[ 0 ][ 1 ] a[ 1 ][ 1 ] a[ 2 ][ 1 ] a[ 0 ][ 2 ] a[ 1 ][ 2 ] a[ 2 ][ 2 ] a[ 0 ][ 3 ] a[ 1 ][ 3 ] a[ 2 ][ 3 ] Row subscript Array name Column subscript M. Hammad Waseem
Multiple-Subscripted Arrays • Initialization • int b[ 2 ][ 2 ] = { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } }; • Initializers grouped by row in braces • If not enough, unspecified elements set to zero int b[ 2 ][ 2 ] = { { 1 }, { 3, 4 } }; • Referencing elements • Specify row, then column printf( "%d", b[ 0 ][ 1 ] ); 8 1 2 3 4 1 0 3 4 M.

Passing Arrays to Functions • Passing arrays • To pass an array argument to a function, specify the name of the array without any brackets int myArray[ 24 ]; myFunction( myArray, 24 ); • Array size usually passed to function • Arrays passed call-by-reference • Name of array is address of first element • Function knows where the array is stored • Modifies original memory locations • Passing array elements • Passed by call-by-value • Pass subscripted name (i.e., myArray[ 3 ]) to function 10M. Hammad Waseem
Passing Arrays to Functions • Function prototype void modifyArray( int b[], int arraySize ); • Parameter names optional in prototype • int b[] could be written int [] • int arraySize could be simply int 11M. Hammad Waseem
