p>The C language provides a capability that enables the user to define a set of ordered data ite
array.
Suppose we had a set of grades that we wished to read into the computer and suppos
perform some operations on these grades, we will quickly realize that we cannot pe
operation until each and every grade has been entered since it would be quite a tedious
each and every student grade as a variable especially since there may be a very large num
In C we can define variable called grades, which represents not a single value of grade bu
grades. Each element of the set can then be referenced by means of a number called
subscript.
Declaration of arrays:
Like any other variable arrays must be declared before they are used. The general form of
type variable-name[50];
The type specifies the type of the elements that will be contained in the array, such as int f
the size indicates the maximum number of elements that can be stored inside the array for
float height[50];
Declares the height to be an array containing 50 real elements. Any subscripts 0 to 49 are
array elements index or subscript begins with number zero. So height [0] refers to the firs
array. (For this reason, it is easier to think of it as referring to element number zero,
referring to the first element).
