Lecture#9 Arrays

The document discusses arrays, which are a collection of similar data elements stored contiguously in memory that can be accessed using an index number, and covers how arrays can hold different data types, are represented in memory, and elements are referenced using a subscript; it also briefly mentions one-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays and provides examples of programs to take input into arrays and copy/display array elements.

Arrays
 An array is a collection of similar data elements stored at
contiguous memory locations. It is the simplest data structure
where each data element can be accessed directly by only using its
index number.

 Arrays can hold the data in the form of numbers, characters,


sentences, Boolean values.

Arrays
 In computer science, an array is a data structure consisting of a
collection of elements, of same memory size, each identified by at
least one array index or key.

 An array is stored such that the position of each element can be


computed from its index tuple by a mathematical formula.

 An array is represented in the computer memory by a consecutive


group of storage locations referenced by a single variable name
“array name”.

Arrays
 Each element of an array is referenced by its position in the array
and is represented by an index value or subscript.

 The subscript of an array is written inside a pair of square brackets [


] with the name of the array.

 For example, an array of 10, 32-bit integer variables with indices 0


through 9, may stored as 10 words at-many addresses.

Arrays
 The memory address of the first element of an array is called first
address or foundation address.

 An array in a sequence of objects of same data type.

 The objects in an array are called “elements of array”.

Types of Arrays
 One-dimensional array
 Two/Multi-dimensional array

One-dimensional Array: The simplest type of data structure is a one-


dimensional array. It is also called a linear array or a list.
