ARRAY---

DEF:-


  • Array is a linear collection of similar elements
  • Array is also known as subscript value
  • Array is a group of value
  • when there is a lot of data then array is required
  • Array are the derived data types in c language which can store the primitive data types of type int, float, char etc.
  • in array each element have index, through index each element can be accessed randomly.

Advantage of Array:--
  1. Code Optimization:- less code to access the data
  2. Ease of traversing:- by using loop we can traverse the element of array
  3. Ease of sorting:- to sort the array only few codes are written
  4. randomly access:- any element access randomly
Disadvantage of Array:-
  1. Fixed size:- the size of array is defined when we declared an array, which cannot be change.Array in c are not dynamically like linked list etc.
Declaration of Array:-
  • An Array can be declared such as we declare the function , only difference is ,In function argument is passed but in array size is declared
  • [] brackets are used to define the size of array
  • index no. is start from 0
Syntax:--data_types  array_name[size of array]; // 1-D Array

example:--   int a[7];  //array a of type int is declared having size 7 and also have a value
                   a[0]=11;  // 11 is insert at index no. 0

Note:-  an Array is initialize when it is declared 

  • int a[7]={11,22,33,44,55,66,77};
  • int a[]={11,22,33,44,55,66,77}; // without giving size
1-Dimensional Array(Default Array) :-
Example:-

2-Dimensional Array:- 2 d array having rows and column, i.e[][] two square brackets having used.
first one for rows and second one for column in each rows
Syntax:--  int arr[4][3]={{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9},{10,11,12}};
Explanation:--  here from diagram clearly seen how 2 d array takes memory , 
to access any element bu using index no. is a[1][2]=5;

Introduction to C

About C:- C is a high-level language . It was initially first developed by D ennis Ritchie in 1972. It was developed to overcome the limitation of previous language such as B,BCPL etc. It was developed for Unix operating System It inherits many features of previous language Features/Advantage:- Simple :- because it provide data types, library function etc. Machine Independent or Portable:- because it can be executed on different machine Procedural language:- Instruction in c program are executed step by step Structured programming language:- break the problem into parts It provide dynamic memory allocation , pointers etc. Speed:-It is faster than another programming language like java, python etc. Disadvantage of C:- It does not support oops concept in which inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation etc. come. It does not support namespace concept It does not support constructor and destructor There is lack of excepti...

Identifiers in C

Identifiers are:-  constant variables keywords Define constant:- Any information is constant data = information = constant types of constant primary:- integer,real,character secondary:- they are made with the help of primary such as:- array,string,pointer,union,etc. Define variables:- variables are the name of memory location where we store data variable name is any combination of alphabet,digit the first letter cannot be a digit Keywords:-  keywords are the predefined or reserved words.In C there are 31 keywords.C is a case sensitive so use keyword in small alphabets.

Type casting

type casting or type conversion  allows us to convert one data types into another.for type casting cast operator is required. Syntax:--      (type)expression or value; Example:       int f =9/4; //without type casting       o/p=2       float f=(float)9/4;  //with type casting       o/p=2.3 Type conversion are of two types: 1)Implicit Type Conversion:-  it is also known as automatic type conversion.When the type conversion is performed automatically by the compiler,such type of conversion is known as implicit type conversion. 2)Explicit Type Conversion:-  the type conversion performed by the programmer is known as explicit type conversion.which is done by cast operator as above mentioned.
