Study Notes

Arrays

  • An array is a constant variable, and its name should begin with 'k' according to Google Style.
  • Arrays can hold different types of values.
  • Arrays are initialized with a list of values enclosed in curly braces {}.
  • Individual elements in an array can be accessed using the [] operator.
  • If you try to access an element outside the array's bounds, it will result in overstepping bounds.
  • The name of an array gives the memory address of the first element.
  • Example of array declaration: int x = { 3, 7, 2 };

Arrays

  • Size of an array is a constant variable, following Google Style, and should begin with k.
  • Arrays can hold different types of values.
  • Arrays can be initialized using a list enclosed in curly braces {}.
  • Individual elements of an array can be accessed using the [] operator.
  • Accessing an array element outside its bounds is called overstepping bounds.
  • The name of an array is a pointer to the first element of the array.

Pointers

  • To declare a pointer, the asterisk symbol * is used.
  • Pointers can point to variables, arrays, or functions.
  • There is a close relationship between pointers and arrays, with the name of an array being a pointer to its first element.
  • The &amp; symbol is the reference operator, used to get the memory address of a variable.
  • The * symbol, when used as the dereference operator, retrieves the value stored at a memory address.
