CP RL6.1

This document discusses arrays in C programming. It defines arrays as a collection of homogeneous data items stored under the same name. Arrays allow storing multiple values in contiguous memory locations that can be accessed using an index. The document covers declaring and initializing arrays, accessing array elements randomly or sequentially using indexes, iterating through arrays using for loops, passing arrays as function arguments, and returning arrays from functions.

Introduction
Simple data types (i.e. int, float, double) use single
memory cell to store a variable.
e.g. int age <allocates 4 bytes of memory cell on a 32 bit
machine>
Consider a program that processes exam marks for a
class of 100 students
Need to declare 100 different variables to store the marks
for all the students
If we can store them in one area
of memory and can access as a
group then the job becomes easy

Arrays: List of Items
A collection of homogeneous (i.e. similar type)
data items under same name is called an Array
e.g. want to store marks of 100 students
Allocates 100 contiguous memory cells of equal size
marks

Array declaration:

Example: int marks[10], float marks[10];
Array Initialization:
int marks[10];
marks[10] = {50, 60, 45, 55, 35, 67, 89, 88, 76, 90};
marks[10] = {0};
marks[] = {50, 60, 45, 55, 35, 67, 89, 88, 76, 90};

Random Access:

Sequential Access:
int marks[10];
for (index=0; index<10; index++) {
if(marks[index]>= 60)
printf(First Division); }

Passing Array as a Function
Argument
int main() {
int list[10],i,mean_val;
for(i=0 ; i<10 ; i++)
scanf(%d,&list[i]);
mean_val = FindMean(list,10);
printf(Mean = %d,mean_val);
return 0;
}

int FindMean (int List[], int size)
{ int i, mean, sum=0;
for(i=0; i<size; i++)
sum=sum+List[i];
mean = sum/size;
return mean; }

Returning Array From a
Function
int main() {
int list[10], devlist[10],i,mean_val;
for(i=0 ; i<10 ; i++)
scanf(%d,&list[i]);
mean_val = FindMean(list,10);
FindDev(10,mean_val,list,devlist);
for(i=0 ; i<10 ; i++)
printf(%d,devlist[i]);
return 0;
}


10
void FindDev(int size, int mean, int
List[], int DevList[])
{ int i;
for(i=0 ; i<size ; i++)
DevList[i] = List[i] - mean;
}

Summary
A group of elements can be stored under a single name
using Arrays
Individual items can be randomly accessed using the index
value
Arrays can be passed as an argument to the functions
An array is passed as an argument to a function, by reference
In C, Array boundary should be protected by the
programmer
