Arrays

à    Array is a memory variable, which can store multiple values in it.
à
à    Array is a collection of values of similar data type.
à    An array can be declared as follows
àDataType ArrayName[n]; n - number of elements
à
à                  eg :      int a[5];
à                              float salary[500];
à                              char name[15];
à    Array elements can be accessed by mentioning the corresponding index position.
à
à    Index for any array, starts from 0 and ends with n-1.For example,
à      int a[5];
à      Then the five array elements can be refered as
à      a[0],a[1],a[2],a[3] and a[4].
à
à    At the time of declaration of an array, we can initialize the array as follows DataType ArrayName[n] = {values,....};
à
à    In this case, there is no need of mentioning number of elements of array i.e. n.
à
à    If you don't initialize, array elements will have garbage values. For handling array elements, we can frame loops.
à      Arrays are of two types
§  Numerical Array.
§  Character Array.
