Study Notes
C++ Arrays
- An array in C++ is a variable that can store multiple values of the same type.
- Arrays are useful when dealing with a large amount of data of the same type, such as storing grades of students in a class.
Declaring Arrays
- The general syntax for declaring an array in C++ is:
dataType arrayName[arraySize];
- For example:
int x[6];
declares an array of 6 integers.
Accessing Array Elements
- Each element in an array is associated with a number, known as an array index, starting from 0.
- Elements of an array can be accessed using their indices, for example:
array[index];
- The array indices start with 0, and the last element is stored at index
n-1
, wheren
is the size of the array. - Elements of an array have consecutive addresses, with each element's address incremented by the size of the data type.
Array Initialization
- In C++, arrays can be initialized during declaration, for example:
int x[] = {19, 10, 8, 17, 9, 15};
- The compiler automatically computes the size of the array if it's not specified.
Array with Empty Members
- If an array has a size
n
, but fewer thann
elements are initialized, the remaining elements will be assigned default values (usually 0). - For example:
int x[6] = {19, 10, 8};
will assign 0 to the remaining 3 elements.
Inserting and Printing Array Elements
- Array elements can be inserted or updated using their indices, for example:
mark[3] = 9;
- Array elements can be printed using
cout
, for example:cout << mark[0];
