Arrays (Part I)

Learning Outcomes The above program declares an array test with initial values
 Discuss what are Arrays (1 to 5). The code demonstrates how to access array elements
 Demonstrate how to work with one-dimensional in two ways:
arrays
test[3] = 8; // directly overwrites
Introduction // array element #3
// using the assignment
An Array is a variable that can hold multiple values of the
// operator
same data type.
and
Consider the following:
cin >> test[2]; // accepts input from the
double grade[27]; // user and assigns it to
// array element #2
The above declaration creates a one-dimensional array grade
that can hold a maximum of 27 values, or elements, of the To display array elements, we can use a loop to iterate from
type double. array element 0 to the last element:

NOTE: Declaring arrays this way gives the variable a fixed int main()
size that can’t be changed afterwards. {
int test[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
In C++, each element in an array is associated with a number, int i;
called an array index. This index is used to access each value
cout << "The array elements are: ";
in an array. In the previous example, the first element of the
array grade is accessed as grade[0] and the last element is for(i=0; i<5; i++)
accessed as grade[26] or grade[array_size-1]. {
cout << test[i] << " ";
It is considered good practice to initialize our variables in }
order to prevent getting unpredictable results.
return 0;
}
Below is an example of initializing one-dimensional arrays
during declaration:
Try running the above program. What is the output?
int x[3] = {10, 9, 8};

The above code creates an array x with the following initial

values:
Array Element Value
x[0] 10 Similarly, instead of directly initializing the array, we can
x[1] 9 use loops to assign values to each array element.
x[2] 8
Consider the following lines of code:
Consider the following lines of code:
int main()
int main() {
{ int num[2];
int test[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; int ctr;

test[3] = 8; for(ctr=0; ctr<2; ctr++)

cin >> test[2]; {
cout << "Enter a number: ";
return 0; cin >> num[ctr];
} }

return 0;
}
As mentioned earlier, we use indices to access and work with For array B:
each array element. Consider the following lines of code: Array Element Value
0 60
int main() 1 110
{ 2 40
int n[5] = {9, 5, 8, 7, 2}; 3 20
int sum;
Display the difference of each matching array value
int sum = n[0]+n[1]+n[2]+n[3]+n[4]
indices (for example, A[0] and B[0]).
cout<<"The sum of the elements are: ";
cout<<sum; Observation/Conclusion/Summary

return 0;
}

Try running the above program. What is the output?

NOTE: We can use other operators in order to work with

array elements.

Programming Exercises

1. Write a C++ program that assigns the following

values to an integer array mark:

Array Element Value

0 88
1 76
2 89
3 80
4 75
5 70
6 86
7 84

2. Write a C++ program that accepts 5 character values

and assigns them to the array Letter.

3. Write a C++ program that accepts 10 floating point

values from the user and then displays the sum.

4. Write a C++ program that accepts 10 integer values

from the user and then display them in reverse order.

5. Write a C++ program that accepts 3 integer values

and displays the highest value.

6. Write a C++ program assigns the following values

to integer arrays:

For array A:
Array Element Value
0 110
1 120
2 115
