Arrays in C/C++ program
The array is a collection of a fixed number of items of the same data type. These elements are stored in contiguous memory locations in the memory.
Every single element of the value can be accessed from its index value using the brackets “[]” and the array name like a[4], a[3], etc.
Declaring Arrays
In c/c++ programming languages, arrays are declared by defining the type and length (number of elements) of the array. The below syntax show declaration of an array in c/c++ −
data_tpye array_name[length];
For example, declaring an array of type float named the percentage of length 10.
float percentage[10]
Initializing array values
In c++ programming language, you have multiple ways to initialize values i.e. either one by one or using a single statement for declaring all values.
one by one −
percentage[5] = 45.3;
declaring all values at once −
float percentage[] = {56.4 , 99.0, 12.20, 67.2}| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| 78.06 | 56.78 | 99.20 | 12.22 | 87.66 | 34.44 |
Accessing Array elements
To access array values, we will use index values in curly braces with the name of an array. Example,
float anam’spercentage = percentage[4];
Example
program to print all values of array using for loop
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
float percentage[] = {56.4 , 99.0, 12.20, 67.2};
cout<<"printing all values of the array :\n";
for(int i = 0; i<4 ; i++){
cout<<"element "<<i+1<<" = "<<percentage[i]<<endl;
}
return 0;
}Output
printing all values of the array : element 1 = 56.4 element 2 = 99 element 3 = 12.2 element 4 = 67.2
print a specific value of the array −
Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
float percentage[4];
percentage[0] = 56.3;
percentage[1] = 99.12;
percentage[2] = 78.32;
percentage[3] = 61.3;
cout<<"3rd element is "<<percentage[2];
return 0;
}Output
3rd element is 78.32
reinitializing array values −
Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
float percentage[4];
percentage[0] = 56.3;
percentage[1] = 99.12;
percentage[2] = 78.32;
percentage[3] = 61.3;
cout<<"3rd element is "<<percentage[2];
percentage[2] = 12.22;
cout<<"\nafter change :\n";
cout<<"3rd element is "<<percentage[2];
return 0;
}Output
3rd element is 78.32 after change : 3rd element is 12.22
