Program Plan Intro

Array:

An array is a variable which stores multiple values of same types of data; the array values are stored in continuous memory locations.

An array is declared through the following format:

Data-type array-name [size declarator];

Consider the following array definition:

//Declaration of array

int values[5];

• In the above example, “int” represents the data type of the array, “values[]” is the array name and the number inside the brackets is the size declaratory of the array.

Subscript of an array:

In an array, each element is assigned with the unique number which is specified inside the brackets is referred as subscript.

• The subscript is used to specify the specific element in an array; it is referred by adding a square bracket next to the array name.
• In an array, the first element is assigned with the subscript “0”, second element with subscript “1” and so on.
