Arrayppt

What is Arrays ?
• An array is a group of consective memory locations with same name and data
type.
• Simple variable is a single memory location with unique name and a type.
But an Array is collection of different adjacent memory locations. All these
memory locations have one collective name and type.
• The memory locations in the array are known as elements of array. The total
number of elements in the array is called length.
• The elements of array is accessed with reference to its position in array, that
is call index or subscript.
Syntax for array declaration:
Index/subscript/
Address of your array

elements
0 1 2 3 4
34 56 30 40 50
Advantages / Uses of Arrays
 Arrays can store a large number of value with single name.
 Arrays are used to process many value easily and quickly.
 The values stored in an array can be sorted easily.
 The search process can be applied on arrays easily.
Types of Arrays:
 One-Dimensional Array
 Two-Dimensional Array
 Multi-Dimensional Array
One-D
Array
A type of array in which all elements are arranged in the form of a list is
known as 1-D array or single dimensional array or linear list.
Declaring 1-D Array:

data_type identifier[n]; e.g: int
marks[5];
o Data _type: Data type of values to be stored in the array.
o Identifier: Name of the array.
o Length: Number of elements.
A[i+1]
10 14 18 22 26
50 45 43 45 47

Accessing One-D Array Elements

You can access elements of an array by indices.
Suppose you declared an array mark as above. The first element is
mark[0], the second element is mark[1] and so on.
•Arrays have 0 as the first index, not 1. In this example, mark[0] is the first element.
•If the size of an array is n, to access the last element, the n-1 index is used. In this example, mark[4]
•Suppose the starting address of mark[0] is 2120H. Then, the address of the mark[1] will be 2124H.
Similarly, the address of mark[2] will be 2128H and so on
Eg: Sample Program to input marks of 5 students and print it.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{ int i, n;
int marks[50];
printf("enter the size of the array");
scanf("%d", &n);
printf("enter array elements");

for (i=0; i<n; i++)
scanf("%d", &marks[i]);
printf("your array elements are: ");

for (i=0; i<n; i++)
printf("\n %d", marks[i]);
return 0;
}
One-D array Intialization
The process of assigning values to array elements at the time of array
declaration is called array initialization.
Syntax:
data_type identifier[length]={ List of values };
o Data _type: Data type of values to be stored in the array.
o Length: Number of elements
o List of values: Values to initialize the array. Initializing values must be
constant
One-D array Initialization Example
#include <stdio.h>
int main () {
char eg[6] = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0'};

printf(“Good morning: %s\n", eg );
return 0;
}
Accessing element of array
 Individual Element:
Array_name[index];
 Using Loop:
int marks[5];
for(int i=0;i<=4;i++)
marks[i]=i;
Array Input Output:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int values[5];
printf("Enter 5 integers: ");
// taking input and storing it in an array

for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{
scanf("%d", &values[i]);
}
printf("Displaying integers: ");
// printing elements of an array

for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
printf("%d\n", values[i]);
}
return 0;
}
Searching In
Array is a process of finding the required data in the array. Searching
Searching
becomes more important when the length of the array is very large.
There are two techniques to searching elements in array as follows:
 Sequential search /Linear Search
 Binary search
Sequential Search
Sequential search is also known as linear or serial search. It follows the
following step to search a value in array.
 Visit the first element of array and compare its value with required value.
 If the value of array matches with the desired value, the search is
complete.
 If the value of array does not match, move to next element an repeat same
process.
Linear Search Program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int arr[10], s, i, f=0;
printf("enter the search element");
scanf("%d", &s);
printf("enter marks of 10 students");
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
if(s==arr[i])
{ f++;
printf("element found at position %d", i+1);
break;
}
}
if(f==0)
printf("element not found");
return 0;
}
Binary Search
Binary search is a quicker method of searching for value in the array. Binary
search is very quick but it can only search an sorted array. It cannot be
applied on an unsorted array.
o It locates the middle element of array and compare with desired number.
o If they are equal, search is successful and the index of middle element
is returned.
o If they are not equal, it reduces the search to half of the array.
o If the search number is less than the middle element, it searches the first half
of array.
Otherwise it searches the second half of the array. The process continues until
the required number is found or loop completes without successful search.
Program for binary search:
Program for finding the largest element in the array:
Program for finding the smallest element in the array:
Program for insertion in the array
Sorting
Arrays
Sorting is a process of arranging the value of array in a particular order.
An array can be sorted in two order.
12 25 33 37 48
o Ascending Order
o Descending Order
48 37 33 25 12
Techniques Of Sorting Array
There are various techniques of sorting array:
o Selection Sort
o Bubble Sort
o Insertion Sort
o Merge Sort
o Quick Sort
Selection Sort
Selection sort is a technique that sort an array. It selects an element in the
array and moves it to its proper position. Selection sort works as
follows:
1. Find the minimum value in the list.

2. Swap it with value in the first position.
3. Sort the remainder of the list excluding the first value.
Bubble Sort
Bubble Sort is also known as exchange sort. It repeatedly
visits the array and compares two items at a time. It works as
follows:
o Compare adjacent element. If the first is greater than the second,
swap them.
o Repeat this for each pair of adjacent element, starting with the first
two and ending with the last two. (at this point last element should
be greatest).
o Repeat the step for all elements except the last one.
o Keep repeating for one fewer element each time until there are no
pairs to compare.
Bubble sort Program
Two-D Arrays
Two-D array can be considered as table that consists of rows and
columns. Each element in 2-D array is refered with the help of two
indexes. One index indicates row and second indicates the
column.
Declaring 2-D Array:
Data_type Identifier[row][column];
e.g: int
o Data _type: arr[4][3];
Data type of values to be stored in the
o Rows : # of Rows in the table of array.
o Column : # of Columns in the table of arr
2D array input and output
Two-D array Intialization
The two-D array can also be initialized at the time of declaration.
Initialization is performed by assigning the initial values in
braces seperated by commas.
Some important points :
o The elements of each row are enclosed within braces and seperated by
comma.
o All rows are enclosed within braces.
o For number arrays, if all elements are not specified , the un specified
elements are initialized by zero.
