CSCI 1300 Chapter 8: Arrays
Document Summary
Structures for storing sequences of values of the same type. When you define an array, you can specify the initial values. For example, double values[] = { 32, 54, 67. 5, 29, 34. 5, 80, 115, 44. 5, 100, 65 }; When you supply initial values, you don"t need to specify the array size. The compiler determines the size by counting the values. const int size = 10; It is a good idea to use a named constant for the size. int numbers[size]; int size = 10; int numbers[size]; Caution: in standard c++, the size must be a constant. This array definition will not work with all compilers. int squares[5] = { 0, 1, 4 }; if you supply fewer initial values than the size, the remaining values are set to 0. The values stored in an array are called its elements. Each element has a position number, called an index.
