ARRAYS

Definition:
An array is a derived data type. It is a collection of data elements of similar
data types. The data elements are stored in contiguous memory location.

Syntax :
datatype arrayname[size]
int a[10];
where
int is the data type of the elements.
a is the array name.
[10] is the index which denotes the array contains 10 data elements.

ARRAY INITIALIZATION:
The array can be initialized with elements while declaring the array.
Example:
int a[5]={1,2,3,4,5}
Here, 5 data elements are stored in the array called “a”. The array elements
are stored sequentially in separate locations.
The array elements are called as below:
A[0] refers to 1st element 1
A[1] refers to 1st element 2
A[2] refers to 1st element 3
A[3] refers to 1st element 4
1
A[4] refers to 1st element 5
CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ARRAY:

1. All the data elements share the same name, and they are distinguished
from one another with the help of an element number.
2. Any particular element of an array can be modified separately without
disturbing other elements.
3. The element number in an array plays major role for calling each
element.

CLASSIFICATION OF ARRAY:

Arrays can be classified into major types.

1. One-dimensional Array.
2. Two dimensional Array.

3. Multi dimensional Array.

1. One-Dimensional Array:

The array elements are arranged in rows or columns. The data are stored
in continuous memory location.

Example:

int a[5]={1,2,3,4,5}

Address 2000 2004 2008 2012 2016

Element a[0] a[1] a[2] a[3] a[4]
Values 1 2 3 4 5

Example Program:

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int a[10],n,i;
clrscr();
2
printf("\nEnter the size of the array");
scanf("%d",&n);
printf("\nEnter the elements into the array one by one");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
scanf("%d",&a[i]);
printf("\nThe array elements are\n");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
printf("%d\t",a[i]);
getch();
}

OUTPUT:

Enter the size of the array5

Enter the elements into the array one by one

scanf("%d",&n);
printf("\nEnter the elements in the array\n");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
scanf("%d",&a[i]);
}
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{

2.Two-Dimensional Array:

The array elements are thought to be stored in the form of rows and columns.

Syntax :
datatype arrayname[row size][column size];
int a[3][3];

Diagrammatic representation:

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3

Row 1 a[0][0] a[0][1] a[0][2]
Row 2 a[1][0] a[1][1] a[1][2]
Row 3 a[2][0] a[2][1] a[2][2]

The above arrangement of array elements is only for understanding.

Physically array elements are stored in continuous memory locations. The
two dimensional array is a collection of one-dimensional array, which are
placed one after another.

Example Program:

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int a[10][10],n,i,j;
clrscr();
printf("\nEnter the size of the array");
scanf("%d",&n);
printf("\nEnter the elements into the array one by one");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
for(j=0;j<n;j++)
scanf("%d",&a[i][j]);
printf("\nThe array elements are\n");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<n;j++)
{
printf("%d\t",a[i][j]);
}
printf("\n");
}

3.Multi Dimensional Array:

In C programming, you can create an array of arrays. These arrays are
known as multidimensional arrays.

int test[2][3][4] = {
{{3, 4, 2, 3}, {0, -3, 9, 11}, {23, 12, 23, 2}},
{{13, 4, 56, 3}, {5, 9, 3, 5}, {3, 1, 4, 9}} };

Three-dimensional:

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int test[2][3][2];
16
 printf("Enter 12 values: \n");
for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 3; ++j)
{
for (int k = 0; k < 2; ++k)
{
scanf("%d", &test[i][j][k]);
}
}
}
printf("\nDisplaying values:\n");
for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 3; ++j)
{
for (int k = 0; k < 2; ++k)
{
printf("test[%d][%d][%d] = %d\n", i, j, k, test[i][j][k]);
}
}
}

17
CHARACTER ARRAY:

The data elements stored in the array belong to character data type.
Hence the name, character array.

The character array can be used to stored individual characters or a

collection of characters called strings. If a string is stored in the character
array, a null character (‘\0’) is automatically added to the array at the end,
which denotes the end of the string.
Example program:

Program to display character array & their addresses:

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
char a[]={'A','B','C','D'};
int i;
clrscr();
for(i=0;a[i]!='\0';i++)
{
printf("\nThe array elements are : %c",a[i]);
printf("\nThe memory location is %u",&a[i]);
}
getch();
}
OUTPUT:

The array elements are : A

The memory location is 65522
The array elements are : B
The memory location is 65523
The array elements are : C
The memory location is 65524
The array elements are : D
The memory location is 65525

18
STRING HANDLING:

In C language, the group of characters, digits and symbols

enclosed within quotation marks are called strings. The string is always
declared as character arrays. Every string is terminated with ‘\0’ (NULL)
character. The NULL character is a byte with all bits at logic zero.

DECLARATION & INITIALIZATION OF STRING

The string can be initialized as follows:

char name[]=”India”;

The C compiler inserts the NULL character automatically at the end of the
string. So, initialization of NULL character is not essential.
Display of strings with different formats:

Let the character array be

Char name[]=”computer”;

S.No Statement Output Meaning

1. printf(“%s”,name); Computer The whole string is
displayed
2. printf(“%.5s”,name); Compu Only 5 characters are
displayed
3. printf(“%-10.4s”,name); Comp 4 characters from the
left are displayed

Read & write Strings in C using Printf() and Scanf() functions

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
/* String Declaration*/
char nickname[20];

printf("Enter your Nick name:");

scanf("%s", nickname);

/*Displaying String*/
printf("%s",nickname);

return 0;
}
19
Read & Write Strings in C using gets() and puts() functions
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
/* String Declaration*/
char nickname[20];

/* Console display using puts */

puts("Enter your Nick name:");

/*Input using gets*/

gets(nickname);

puts(nickname);

return 0;
}

STRING STANDARD FUNCTIONS

Every C compiler supports a large number of string handling library

functions. Some of the standard string functions are given below:

S.No Function Description

1. strlen( ) Determines the length of the string

2. strcpy( ) Copies a string from source to destination

3. strcmp( ) Compares the characters of two strings.

4. strcat( ) Appends source string to destination string

5. strrev( ) Reverses the string

6. strupr( ) Converts s to all uppercase

7. strlwr( ) Converts string to all lowercase

6. strncpy( ) Copy the specified number of characters

7. strncmp( ) Compare two string upto given n character

8. stricmp( ) Compare two strings alphabetically

without case sensitivity

20
9. strncat( ) Appends a string to the end of another
string up to n

10. strtok( ) Breaks a string into tokens by delimiters

C String function – strlen

It returns the length of the string without including end character (terminating
char ‘\0’).

Syntax:
strlen(string)

Example of strlen:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
char str1[20] = "Welcome";
printf("Length of string str1: %d", strlen(str1));
return 0;
}

Output:
Length of string str1: 7

C String function – strcpy

The strcpy() function copies the string pointed by
source (including the null character) to the destination.

Syntax:
strcpy(destination, source);

Example of strcpy:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
char s1[30];
char s2[30] = "Good Day!";
/* this function has copied s2 into s1*/
strcpy(s1,s2);
printf("%s", s1);
return 0;
}

Output:
Good Day!

C String function – strcmp

It compares the two strings and returns an integer value. If both the strings are
same (equal) then this function would return 0 otherwise it may return a negative or
positive value based on the comparison.
21
Syntax:
strcmp(str1, str2)

Example of strcmp:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
char s1[20] = "Goodday";
char s2[20] = "Welcome";
if (strcmp(s1, s2) ==0)
{
printf("string 1 and string 2 are equal");
}
else
{
printf("string 1 and 2 are different");
}
return 0;
}

Output:
string 1 and 2 are different

C String function – strcat

It concatenates two strings and returns the concatenated string.

Syntax:
strcat(str1,str2)

Example of strcat:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
char s1[10] = "Hello";
char s2[10] = "World";
strcat(s1,s2);
printf("Output string after concatenation: %s", s1);
return 0;
}

Output:
Output string after concatenation: HelloWorld

C String function – strrev

strrev( ) function reverses a given string in C language.
Syntax : strrev(string)
strrev(string)

Example of strrev:

22
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

int main()
{
char name[30] = "Hello";

printf("String before strrev( ) : %s\n",name);

printf("String after strrev( ) : %s",strrev(name));

return 0;
}
Output:
String before strrev( ) : Hello
String after strrev( ) : olleH

C String function – strlwr

strlwr( ) function converts a given string into lowercase.

Syntax
strlwr(string)

Example of strlwr:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
char str[ ] = "MODIFY This String To LOwer";
printf("%s\n",strlwr (str));
return 0;
}
Output:
modify this string to lower

C String function – strupr

strupr( ) function converts a given string into uppercase.

Syntax
strupr(string)

Example of stuprr:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

int main()
{
char str[ ] = "Modify This String To Upper";
23
 printf("%s\n",strupr(str));
return 0;
}
Output:
MODIFY THIS STRING TO UPPER

TWO DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER ARRAY

Like a two-dimensional integer array, a character array can be a two

dimensional array. A collection of strings can be stored in a two dimensional
array.

The syntax is:

Char a[2][10];

Here, The array accommodates 2 strings with 9 characters long. The last
location is allotted for storing the NULL character.

Example Program;

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
char a[4][10],i,j,n;
clrscr();
printf("\nEnter the number of names to be stored in the array");
scanf("%d",&n);
printf("\nEnter the names one by one\n");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
fflush(stdin);
gets(a[i]);
}
printf("\nThe names are\n");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
puts(a[i]);
printf("\n");
28
}
getch();
}

OUTPUT:

Enter the number of names to be stored in the array3

Enter the names one by one

arthi
archana
kanimozhi

The names are

arthi
archana
kanimozhi

SORTING OF NAMES IN A TWO DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER

ARRAY

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
char a[25][25],i,j,n,temp[20];
clrscr();
printf("\nEnter the no. of strings in the array");
scanf("%d",&n);
printf("\nEnter the strings in the array\n");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
scanf("%s",a[i]);
}
for(i=0;i<n-1;i++)
{
for(j=i+1;j<n;j++)
{
if(strcmp(a[i],a[j])>0)
{
strcpy(temp,a[i]);
strcpy(a[i],a[j]);
strcpy(a[j],temp);
}
}
29
}
printf("\nThe sorted strings in the array is \n");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
printf("%s\n",a[i]);
}
getch();
}

OUTPUT:

Enter the no. of strings in the array3

Enter the strings in the array
cse
ece
it

The sorted strings in the array is

cse
ece

Search a String in the List of Strings

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
char str[20][50], s1[50];
int n, i, found=0;

printf("Enter how many string (names): ");

scanf("%d", &n);

printf("Enter %d strings:\n", n);

for(i=0; i<n; i++)
{
scanf("%s", str[i]);
}

printf("Enter a string to search: ");

scanf("%s", s1);

for(i=0; i<n; i++)

{
if(strcmp(s1, str[i]) == 0)
{
found=1;
printf("Found in row-%d\n", i+1);

30
 }
}

if(found==0) printf("Not found");

return 0;
}

Output for the different test-cases:-

Enter how many string (names): 5

Enter 5 strings:
Java
HTML
Python
C++
Programming
Enter a string to search: Python
Found in row-3

Enter how many string (names): 3

Enter 3 strings:
C
C++
.NET
Enter string to search: Java
Not found
