what is an array in c ? explain.
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.
