CM304

This document discusses passing array elements and arrays as arguments to functions in C programming. It begins with objectives and a recap of array initialization. It then explains that array elements and entire arrays can be passed to functions, similarly to passing variables. Examples are provided to demonstrate passing array elements and entire arrays as arguments. The key points are that array elements are passed by value while entire arrays are passed by reference, with the function receiving access to the actual array. A quiz and frequently asked questions section conclude the document.

CM304.60 1
Objective

On completion of this period, you would be


able to know..

 Passing array as arguments to functions.

CM304.60 2
Recap

In the previous class, we have discussed about

 Initialization of an array.

CM304.60 3
Passing Arrays as argument to functions

We can pass

 An array element as argument to a function.

 An entire array as argument to a function.

CM304.60 4
Passing array elements as arguments

 An array elements can be passed as arguments


to other functions.
 Similar to passing variable to a function.
Example:
int a[5] is an array and cub( ) is a function
to calculate the cube of the giving number.
array elements can be passed to cub( ).

CM304.60 5
Simple program using passing arrays
elements as arguments
#include<stdio.h>
int tol(int)
main()
{
int i, a[5];
printf (“enter the elements”);
for (i=0;i<5;i++)
scanf (“%d”, &a[i]);
printf (“the array elements”);

CM304.60 6
Simple program using passing arrays
elements as arguments Contd..
for (i=0;i<5;i++)
printf (“%d”, a[i]);
functio for (i=0;i<5;i++)
n printf (“%d”, tol(a[i]));
}
int tol( int m1);
{ Argume
int m2; nt
m2=m1+m1+m1;
return(m2);
}
CM304.60 7
Passing an arrays elements to functions

main ( ) tol

m1

a[i]

m2

CM304.60 8
Passing an arrays elements to functions

Entire array can be passed to a function as


argument:

 The called function receives access to the actual


array, rather than a copy of the values in the
array.

CM304.60 9
Passing an arrays elements to functions
#include < stdio.h>
main( )
{
int grade[50];
.
first (grade);
.
}
int first( int f_ grade[])
{
.
.} CM304.60 10
Passing an arrays elements to functions

 In the above program array grade elements want

be passed to subprograms. Instead f_

grade will also get the access to grade.

 A two dimensional array can be passed as

arguments to a function .

CM304.60 11
Passing an arrays elements to functions

main ( ) int first (int f_ grade)


{ {
int grade [50]; .
. }
first (grade);
}

CM304.60 12
