What is Concept of array in C

One way to think of an array is a variable that has space for more than one piece of data or information.Arrays are something that you will find in most programming languages, and allow programmers to store information in a variable that has multiple slots of the information.

Depending on the language that you're using an array in, the data type of the information may have to be the same, such as with C, Java, C++, where an array can be defined as having an "int" datatype, for example, and must contain whole numbers.

However, in languages like PHP or JavaScript, an array may be able to hold more than one type of data, such as "int", "double", Strings, etc.

In C, you can declare an array by specifying the data type that you would like the array to have, which will determine what kind of information it can hold, followed by the name of the array, and how many "slots" you would like it to have for data.

For example, if we wanted to declare an array that can hold 5 integers, called int type Array, we can do so like the example below:

                                                         int array[5];

It's just a bunch of variables in a chain. The array's label is actually the physical address in memory. , and you try to access the array, it will add the number in the brackets to the physical location.

Types of Array In C:

There are two type of array in C language

           1. One-dimensional arrays

            2.  Multidimensional arrays

One-dimensional arrays:

The rule of declaration of one-dimensional array

                                  data_type array_name[array_size];

For example:

                                  int age[5];

One disarray with value assign….

                             int age[5]={12,20,9,40,55};

Another way 

                              age[0]=10;

                              age[1]=20;

                              age[2]=30;

                              age[3]=40; 

                              age[4]=50;

Two dimensional array:

Multidimensional Array:

                     int a[3][4] = { 

                                            { 0, 1, 2, 3} ,   /*  initializers for row indexed by 0 */

                                            {4, 5, 6, 7} ,    /*  initializers for row indexed by 1 */

                                            {8, 9, 10, 11}   /*  initializers for row indexed by 2 */

                                         };
