ARRAY C PROGRAMMING

Prepared: ENGR. JONICIO A. DACUYA

An array is a variable that can store multiple values. For example, if you want to store 100
integers, you can create an array for it.

Instead of declaring individual variables, such as number0, number1, ...,

and number99, you declare one array variable such as numbers and use
numbers[0], numbers[1], and ..., numbers[99] to represent individual
variables. A specific element in an array is accessed by an index.
In C, we have to declare the array like any other variable before using it. We can declare an array by
specifying its name, the type of its elements, and the size of its dimensions. When we declare an
array in C, the compiler allocates the memory block of the specified size to the array name.

C Array Initialization
Initialization in C is the process to assign some initial
value to the variable. When the array is declared or
allocated memory, the elements of the array contain
some garbage value. So, we need to initialize the
array to some meaningful value. There are multiple
ways in which we can initialize an array in C.

Array Initialization with Declaration
In this method, we initialize the array along with its declaration. We use an
initializer list to initialize multiple elements of the array. An initializer list is
the list of values enclosed within braces { } separated b a comma.

 Write a program that can
read three integers from the
user and then determines
the smallest value among
the three integers. Using

May use while for another

Example of Array In C programming to find out the
average of 4 integers

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int avg = 0;
int sum =0;
int x=0;
int num[4];

for (x=0; x<4;x++)

{
printf("Enter number %d \n", (x+1));
scanf("%d", &num[x]);
}

for (x=0; x<4;x++)

{
sum = sum+num[x];
}
avg = sum/4;
printf("Average of entered number is: %d", avg);
return 0;
}

ACTIVITY

In the recent IIEE convention, the unity dance was participated by the EE 1st – 4th year students. The
judges were allowed to input score from 1-10 out of 8 criteria for judging. Each contestant’s score is
calculated by dropping the lowest and highest scores and then adding the remaining scores. Please
create a program that allows the user to enter eight judges’ scores and then outputs the point received
by the contestant. A judge awards point between 1 and 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the
highest. For example, if the scores are:
9.2, 9.3, 9.0, 9.9, 9.5, 9.5, 9.6 and 9.8, then the contestant receives a total of
Total points: 56.9 points.
Highest: 9.8
Lowest: 9.0
Average: 7.1125
After inputting the score to the different contestants, will display the winner of the competition with a
highest average points
(Note: You must use array in your solution for this problem)
