Chapter 7, Problem 6RQE

Program Plan Intro

Value stored in an array:

From the given question, the array definition is as follows:

//Initializing the array with values

int numbers[5] = {1, 2, 3};

From the above array declaration, it is clear that the array “numbers” contain 5 elements in the array. The subscript of the array starts from 0 to 4 in the array.

This can be written as,

numbers[0] = 1;

numbers[1] = 2;

numbers[2] = 3;

numbers[3] = 0;

numbers[4] = 0;

• Initially, the subscript starts at “numbers[0]” as “1” and the subscript of “numbers [2]” as “2”.
• Then, it stores the value in the subscript of “numbers [2]” as “3”.
• For the remaining two subscripts, there is no value so, by default, it is assigned with “0”.
