C Programming: Arrays, Functions, and String Handling

One-Dimensional Arrays

A one-dimensional array is a linear collection of elements of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory locations.

1. Declaration

Declaring an array tells the compiler its name, data type, and size.

data_type array_name[size];
  • Example: int scores[5]; // Declares an array named scores that can hold 5 integers.

2. Initialization

You can initialize an array at the time of declaration or assign values later.
