Dear Student ,

Array is generally  the collection of homogeneous data types in linear/contiguous memory location in a sequential manner .  The data types array accepts to store is int,float, char , double etc.

As an example, we can say .. to store the roll no wise students name through C prog, we can use a array .

Array Advantage:

  • Time Optimization
  • Easy to traverse
  • Sorting and random access

Disadvantage :

In Array size is fixed as at the time of declaration of array , we must initialize with the array size.


To know more about array , refer this C programming course article :

Hi,

Hope you are doing great.

An array is the collection of various types of data items stored at various locations. They are the derived data type in the C language. which can store the primitive type of data such as int, char, double, float, etc. If you want to store similar elements then the C array proves to be very beneficial. By using the array, we can access the elements easily. Only a few lines of code are required to access the elements of the array.

Some of the advantages of using C Array are:

  • Code Optimization.
  • Ease of traversing
  • Ease of sorting
  • Random Access

Hope this helps.
