Study Notes
Address Calculation in Arrays
- Address calculation for a one-dimensional array involves adding the offset to the base address.
- Example given for calculating address:
- A(2) = Base Address + [Element Size * (Index - Base Index)]
- For Base Address 1000, Element Size 4 and Index 2:
- A(2) = 1000 + [4 * (2 - 0)] = 1108.
Two-Dimensional Arrays
- Defined as an array of arrays, organized in rows and columns like matrices.
- Facilitates storing bulk data for database-like structures.
- Syntax to declare a 2D array:
datatype array_name_2D[rows][columns];
- Example:
int twodimen_2D[1..6][1..5];
Representation Methods
- Two representation types for 2D arrays:
- Row-major: stores the entire row in contiguous memory locations.
Limitations of Arrays
- Memory wastage due to static allocation.
- Doesn’t support elements of different data types.
- Insertion and deletion operations can be inefficient.
- Limited memory if size is undetermined.
Array Operations
- Common operations include:
- Insertion of a new element.
- Deletion of an existing element.
- Modification of an element.
- Merging arrays.
- Sorting the array.
- Searching for an element.
Applications of Arrays
- Used to implement mathematical vectors and matrices.
- Serve as the foundation for databases that store records.
- Implement other data structures including lists, heaps, hash tables, queues, and stacks.
Types of Arrays
-
One-Dimensional Arrays:
- Have a single subscript (index) to access elements.
- Example:
int s5[6];
-
Two-Dimensional Arrays:
- Have two subscripts (row and column indices) to access elements.
- Remember total storage requirement increases with rows and columns.
Memory Storage Example
- Example given:
- For a 2D array with 6 rows and 7 columns, total storage requirement is 42 memory locations.
- Illustrations show spaces saved when properly allocating storage according to input sizes and usage patterns.
