Chapter 8, Problem 38RQE

A)

Explanation of Solution

Initialization of an array:

The C++ program allows the user to initialize the elements of an array while creating the array; the initialization list stores the value in an array in the specific order as they are initialized.

Example:

Consider the following snippet,

// Constant for the array size

const int num_of_days = 6;

// Initializing an array

int days[num_of_days] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};

In the above example, the sequence of values are stored inside the braces and separated with commas is referred as initialization list.

Error in the given statement:

Consider the given statement,

// Initializing an array

int numbers[8] = {1,2, ,4, ,5};

In the above code, an error has been identified while initializing the values for the array “numbers”...

B)

Explanation of Solution

Implicit declaration of an array:

The C++ program allows the compiler to allocate a size for an array, which is not explicitly stated by the programmer.

Example:

Consider the following snippet,

// Initializing an array

int counter[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};

In the above example,the sequence of values are stored inside the braces and separated with commas. The compiler will automatically allocates an array of 6 integers...

C)

Explanation of Solution

Array elements:

The C++ program allows the user to initialize the elements of an array while creating the array; the array elements are of same data type and the type must be specified during the declaration.

Example:

Consider the following snippet,

// Initializing an array

int counter[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};

In the above example, the sequence of values are stored inside the braces and separated with commas. All elements in the array of int type.

Error in the given statement:

Consider the given statement,

// Initializing an array

values[3] = {6, 8...
