Study Notes
- Array elements can be initialized during definition, and the array size isn't needed in square brackets when initializing.
- Syntax for initializing arrays:
[] = { initializations };or[size] = { element-1, element-2, ..., element-n };
Examples of Array Initialization
int nums = {5, 10, 15};initializes three elements ofnumsto 5, 10, and 15.- If the initializer has fewer values than elements, the remaining elements are set to zero (e.g.,
int nums = {5, 10}; // nums initializes to 0). - When a complete initializer is used, the array dimension is optional:
int nums[] = {5, 10, 15};is valid.
Array operations
- Array members can be treated and processed like pseudo-variables allowing for operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or remainder calculations.
- Another common operation is searching for a specific value within the array.
Arrays and Functions
- Arrays can be passed as arguments to functions.
- Functions can also return arrays.
- To declare a function that takes an array as an argument, specify the argument as an array in the function's parentheses, without needing to specify the array's dimension (leave the square brackets empty).
- When a function takes an array as an argument and processing is planned, pass another argument indicating the number of array members to consider.
Multi-Dimensional Arrays
- Arrays can have multiple dimensions (two, three, or more).
- Elements are stored in a contiguous memory sequence, but are organized differently.
- For example:
int seasonTemp ;can represent a 2D array of integers. - The memory organization is 12 consecutive integers, while the programmer views it as three rows of four integers each.
Initializing Multi-Dimensional Arrays
- Multi-dimensional arrays can be initialized similarly to one-dimensional arrays.
- Syntax:
[][][]...[] = { {x, y, z}, {a, b, c}, {d, e, f}, ..., {l, j, k} }; - Example:
int num [] = { {1,2,3},{4,5,6}}; - Elements are accessed using separate indices for each dimension, such as
seasonTempto access the element in the first row and second column. - Arrays may be initialized with a nested initializer:
- Example:
int seasonTemp = {
{26, 34, 22, 17},
{24, 32, 19, 13},
{28, 38, 25, 20}
};
- This is equivalent to a one-dimensional array:
int seasonTemp = {26, 34, 22, 17, 24, 32, 19, 13, 28, 38, 25, 20}; - Nested initializers are more informative and versatile. For example, you can initialize only the first element of each row:
int seasonTemp = { {26}, {24}, {28} }; - The first dimension can be omitted and derived from the initializer:
int seasonTemp [] = {
{26, 34, 22, 17},
{24, 32, 19, 13},
{28, 38, 25, 20}
};
