What is an Array in C programming ?

An array in C programming is a collection same data type of elements or in other words we can say that it is collection of homogeneous elements of same data type.

Syntax of an Array in C:

data_type array_variable[size of array];

int main

{

char a[2];

char b[5];

char c[10];

}

Size of an array is optional so, user can be define size of an array according to their needs.
If you want to take an input from the user, you must be use loop for taking an input.

How to declare an array in C ?

data_type array_variable[size of array];

int main

{

char a[2];

char b[5];

char c[10];

}

Declaration and syntax both is about to same thing in C language so don't confuse in it

How to initialize an array in C ?

data_type array_name[indexed subscript]=

int main()

{

char a[3];

char a[0]=A;

char a[1]=B;

char a[2]=C;

}

Example of array in C

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
char a[26];
printf("Enter the characters");
for(i=0;i<26;i++)
scanf("%c",&a[i]);
printf("The element of array is");
for(i=0;i<26;i++)
printf("%c",a[i]);
return 0;
}
