3. Introduction Declaration Initialization Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY3

4.  Built-in C data types: ◦ Fundamental data types – char, int, double, float, void and variations of int and double. When a variable is declared as one of these types, the compiler reserves a memory location for the variable and it can only store only one value at a time. ◦ Derived data types – derived from fundamental data types eg. pointers, arrays, structures and unions.  An array is a group of memory locations related by the fact that they all have the same name and the same type. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY4

5.  To refer to a particular location or element in the array, we specify the name of the array and the position number of the particular element in the array.  The size of an array is static (fixed) throughout program execution. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY5

6. 6 Let say we have an array called A Name of the array The position number within the square brackets is formally called a subscript. A subscript can be an integer or an integer expression. For example if x = 1 and y = 2, then A [x+y] is A [3]. Notice that the position starts from 0. Position/index number of the element within the array -10 99 -8 100 27 1976 -2020 1 A[0] A [1] A [2] A [3] A [4] A [5] A [6] A [7] A [8] 1

7.  Array declaration is made by specifying the data type and the number of space so that the computer may reserve the appropriate amount of memory.  General syntax: data_type array_name[size]  Examples: ◦ int my_array[100]; ◦ char name[20]; ◦ double bigval[5*200]; ◦ int a[27], b[10], c[76]; Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY7

8.  There are 2 ways to initialize an array: during compilation and during execution. 1. During compilation: ◦ Unsized array e.g int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};  We can define how many elements that we want since the array size is not given. ◦ Sized array e.g int arr[3] = {90, 21, 22};  We can define only 3 elements since the array size is already given. 2. During execution: int arr[3], j; for (j = 0; j < 3; j++) arr[j] = 0; Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY8

9.  In the example above, an array with the name temp and size 5 has been declared. The elements in the array has been given the value position*9. The first for loop is equivalent to this: temp[0] = 0*9 temp[3] = 3*9 temp[1] = 1*9 temp[4] = 4*9 temp[2] = 2*9 Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY9 #include #define SIZE 5 void main(void) { int temp[SIZE], i; for (i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) temp[i] = i*9; printf(“%s %13s\n”, “Element”, “Value”); for (i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) printf(“%7d%13d\n”, i, temp[i]); } Output: ElementValue0 19 218 327 436

10. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY10 #include #define SIZE 10 void main(void) { int list[SIZE] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}; int i, total = 0; for (i=0; i < SIZE; i++) { total += list[i]; } printf(“Total of array element values is %d.\n”, total); } Output: Total of array element values is 45.

11. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY11 #include #define SIZE 20 void main(void) { int list[SIZE]; int n, i, total = 0; float avg; //user enter how many values to key in and validate it printf(“enter the size of the data: ”); scanf(“%d”, &n); if(n<20){ for (i=0; i < n; i++) { //read values and store in array printf(“enter value %d :”, i); scanf(“%d”, &list[i]); total += list[i]; } //find average avg=total/n; printf(“Total of array element values is %d.\n”, total); printf(“Average= %.2f\n”, avg); } else printf(“the size of the data is exceeding the array size”); } Example: Output: Total of array element values is 45.

12. Relationship with Pointer Array passing to fuction Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY12

13.  The name of an array is actually a pointer to the first element in the array.  Therefore, if we have: int test[3] = {9, 10, 11}; printf(“%d”, *test); The output would be: 9  There are a few ways to traverse an array: Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY13 int test[3] = {9, 10, 11}, k; for (k = 0; k < 3; k++) printf(“%d\n”, test[k]); int test[3] = {9, 10, 11}, k; int *ptr = test; for (k = 0; k < 3; k++, ptr++) printf(“%d\n”, *ptr);

14.  A function that is going to receive an array as one of the arguments can be declared in 2 ways: void Process(char name[]) OR void Process(char *name)  When we pass an array to a function, we are actually passing the pointer to the first element in the array to the function. Therefore, any changes to the array inside the function will also change the actual array.  Either the array is passed using [] or using *, the array can be accessed in the same way. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY14

15.  Assume that we have the following array declaration. int marks[10] = {0};  Say for example we want to write a function, called get_marks, which will read marks from the user and store the marks inside the array.  When we want to pass an array to a function, we need to know these 3 things. ◦ How to write the function prototype? ◦ How to do function call? ◦ How does the function header would look like? Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY15

16.  Function prototype: /* data type with square bracket */ void get_marks(int [ ]); void get_marks(int *); /*treating array as pointer */  Function call: get_marks(marks); /* just pass the array name */  Function header: void get_marks(int marks[ ]) void get_marks(int *marks) /*treating array as pointers */ Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY16

17. #include #define size 10 void get_marks(int [ ]); int calc_average(int [ ]); void main(void) { int marks[size] = {0}; /*initializing the array get_marks(marks); /* function call */ printf(“Average for marks given is %d”, calc_average(marks)); } Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY17

18. void get_marks(int marks[ ]) { int i; for (i = 0; i < size; i++) { printf("Marks student %d:",i + 1); scanf("%d",&marks[i]); } Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY18 int calc_average(int marks[ ]) { int total = 0, i; for (i = 0; i < size; i++) { total = total + marks[i]; } return total / size; }

19.  A function could also receive/treat array parameter as pointer. #include #define size 10 void get_marks(int *); int calc_average(int *); void main(void) { int marks[size] = {0}; get_marks(marks); printf("Average for marks given is %d\n", calc_average(marks)); } Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY19 Observe the function prototypes

20. void get_marks(int *marks) { int i; for (i = 0; i < size; i++, marks++) { printf("Marks student %d: ", i + 1); scanf("%d", marks); } Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY20 int calculate_average(int *marks) { int i, total = 0; for (i = 0; i < size; i++, marks++) { total = total + *marks; } return (total / size); } Manipulating the memory address Pointer variable

21. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY21 #include #define SIZE 10 void Read(int []); int CountAvg(int *); void main(void) { int grades[SIZE]; Read(grades); printf(“The average of the grades given is %d\n”, CountAvg(grades)); } void Read(int grades[]) { int i, temp; for (i=0 ; i<SIZE; i++) { printf(“Enter grade %d\n”, i); scanf(“%d”, &temp) grades[i] = temp; } int CountAvg(int *grades) { int i, total=0; for (i=0; i<SIZE; i++) total += grades[i]; return (total/SIZE); }

22. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY22 The Read() and CountAvg() functions can also be written this way: void Read(int grades[]) { int i; int *ptr = grades; for (i = 0; i < SIZE; i++, ptr++) { printf(“Enter grade %d\n”, i); scanf(“%d”, &(*ptr)) } int CountAvg(int *grades) { int i, total; int *ptr = grades; for (i = 0, total = 0; i < SIZE; i++, ptr++) total += *ptr; return (total/SIZE); }

23. Sorting Searching Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY23

24.  Sorting is the process of placing data into a particular order such as ascending or descending.  There are many sorting algorithms that are usually used. Among them are bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort and shell sort.  Here, we will discuss how bubble sort can be used to sort the elements in an array. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY24

25.  In bubble sort, the list is divided into two sublists: sorted and unsorted.  The smallest element is bubbled from unsorted sublist and moved to the sorted sublist.  Each time an element moves from the unsorted sublist to the sorted sublist, one sort is completed.  The bubble concept is shown in figure below : Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY25 1 jnk SortedUnsorted

26.  Figure below shows how the wall moves one element in each pass.  Looking at the first pass, start with 56 and compare it to 32. Since 56 > 32, it is not moved and we step down one element.  No changes take place until we compare 45 to 8. Since 8 < 45, the two elements are exchanged (swapped). Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY26 23788453256 Unsorted Original list

27.  The two elements are swapped and we step down 1 element.  Because 8 was moved down, it is now compared to 78 and these two elements are swapped.  Finally, 8 is compared to 23 and exchanged. This series of exchanges places 8 in the first location and the wall is moved up one position. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY27 23788453256 Unsorted After pass 1

28. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY28 23328784556 Unsorted After pass 2 23328457856 Unsorted After pass 3 Sorted 23788453256 After pass 4 Sorted! Sorted

29. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY29 Let us look at the C code: void main(void) { int list[] = {23, 78, 45, 8, 32, 56}; BubbleSort(list); } void BubbleSort (int list[]) { int i, j, temp, swapped = 1; for (i = 0; i < 6 && swapped == 1; i++) { swapped = 0; for (j = 0; j < (6-i); j++) { if (list[j] > list[j+1]) { // Swap temp = list[j]; list[j] = list[j+1]; list[j+1] = temp; swapped = 1; }

30.  Searching is the process of determining whether an array contains a value that matches a certain key value.  Same as in sort, there are more than one algorithms that can be used to do a search.  Here, we will discuss how can we do a linear search on an array.  Linear search is a simple searching algorithm where: ◦ data are stored in an array ◦ a key value is compared with each elements in the array starting from the first element Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY30

31. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY31 void main(void) { int list[] = {34, 53, 21, 23, 4}; int i, key_value, found = 0; printf(“Enter the number that you want to find: ”); scanf(“%d”, &key_value); for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) { if (list[i] == key_value) { found = 1; printf(“The number %d is found at location %d\n”, key_value, i); break; } if (found == 0) printf(“The number %d cannot be found in the list\n”, key_value); } Let us look at the C code: Sample Output: Enter the number that you want to find: 53 The number 53 is found at location 1 Press any key to continue

32. Multi-Dimensional Array Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY32

33.  It is possible to create an array which has more than one dimension.  For example: ◦ 2D array: int array[4][2]; ◦ 3D array: int array[4][2][10];  Graphical representation of a 2D array: Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY33 int myarray[4][2] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}; 12 34 5 6 78 This array has 4 rows and 2 columns.

34.  Variable initialization can also be done this way: int myarray[4][2] = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {7, 8}}; int test_score[4][3]={{95,80,78},{69, 75,81}, {100,98,100}, {98,85,87}}; This method is less confusing since we can see the rows and columns division more clearly.  To initialize a 2D array during execution, we need to use a double loop (nested loop): for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) for (j = 0; j < 2; j++) total=total + myarray[i][j];  Although it is possible to create a multi-dimensional array, arrays above 2-dimensions are rarely used. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY34

35.  When a 2D (or higher dimensional) array is passed to a function, the size of the second (or subsequent) subscript needs to be specified.  For example, if we have: int twoD[4][5]; Then a function which would take twoD as an argument should be declared like this: void Process2D(int td[][5])  An array is stored consecutively in memory regardless of the number of dimensions. Therefore, specifying the subscripts in the function parameter will help the compiler to know the boundary of the different dimensions. Prepared by MMD, Edited by MSY35 Passing 2D Array to Function
