Strings C supports strings using one-dimensional character arrays. A string is defined as a null-terminated character array. In C, a null is 0. You must define the array that is going to hold a string to be one byte larger than the largest string it will be required to hold, to make room for the null. A string constant is also null-terminated by the compiler automatically.

Strings in Memory char str[20] = “Rahul arora”; Rahularora\0???????? The empty string "" occupies 1 char

String Initializers char pet[5] = { ‘l’, ‘a’, ‘m’, ‘b’, ‘\0’ } ; char pet[5] ; pet[0] = ‘l’ ; pet[1] = ‘a’ ; pet[2] = ‘m’ ; pet[3] = ‘b’ ; pet[4] = ‘\0’ ; char pet[5] = "lamb" ; But not: char pet[5]; pet = “lamb” ; /* No array assignment in C */ Remember that initializers are not assignment statements! all equivalent

Gets() To read a string from the keyboard we must use C’s standard library functions, gets(). To use gets(), call it using the name of a character array without any index. The gets() function reads characters until you press “Enter” The carriage return is not stored, but is replaced by a null, which terminates the string. The gets() function performs no bounds checking Be sure to call it with an array large enough to hold the expected input.

A string entered at the keyboard. #include “stdio.h” main() { char str[80]; int i; printf(“Enter a string (less than 80 chars) :\n”); gets(str); for(i=0; str[i]; i++) printf(“%c”, str[i]); } Notice how the program uses the fact that a null is false to control the loop that outputs the string.

Display a string, using printf(). #include “stdio.h” main(){ char str[80]; printf(“Enter a string (less than 80 chars) : \n”); gets(str); printf(str); /* output the string */ } Since the first argument to printf() is a string, you simply use str without any index as the first argument to printf(). If you wanted to output a newline, you could output str like this: printf(“%s\n”, str);

Puts() To output a string we can use C’s standard library functions, puts(). Note:the scanf will take the space as the termination of string so we cannot enter a string “rahul arora” using the scanf statement but we can get the same string using gets( ).

Two dimensional Arrays  Collection of rows & columns.  A two-dimensional array is essentially an array of one-dimensional arrays and is most easily thought of in a row, column format.  Eg. Checkerboard Matrices

Declaration & initialization type array-name[nrow][ncol]; char name[3][10]; Initialization: type array-name[nrow][ncol]= {value-list}; int sqr [3] [3] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 } ; Char name[3][10]={“utkarsh”,”anurag”,”ankita”};

Initialization of arrays within arrays Eg. int list[3][4]; int daymon[2][12] = { {31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31}, {31,29,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31} };

Two-Dimensional Arrays # define MAXROW 3 # define MAXCOL 4 int list[MAXROW][MAXCOL] for (int row = 0; row < MAXROW; row++) for (int col = 0; col < MAXCOL; col++) scanf (“%d”,&list[row][col]) list list[0] list[1] list[2]

EG.Listing the marks of students in different subjects int marks[3][4]; [0] [1] [2] [3] marks[0] marks[1] marks[2] ( subject no.) ( student no.)

Memory size Bytes = size of 1 st index *size of 2 nd index *sizeof(base type) Representation in Memory: Row-Major order Column-Major order

Storing the marks of all students in all subjects for (students = 0; students < MAXSTU; students++) for (subjects = 0; subjects < MAXSUB; subjects++) scanf (“%d”, &marks[students][subjects]); highest = 0; for (students = 0; students < MAXSTU; students++) { for (subjects = 0; subjects < MAXSUB; subjects++ ) { if (marks[students][subjects]> highest) highest = marks[students][subjects]; } printf (“the highest of all the subject is %d”,highest); /* to find the maximum of all the marks scored */

/* to find the sum of all the marks scored by each individual in all the subjects */ for (students = 0; students < MAXSTU; students++) { total[students] = 0; for (subjects = 0; subjects < MAXSUB; subjects++) total[students]=total[students]+marks[students][subjects]; }

for (int subjects = 0; subjects < MAXSUB; subjects++ ) { highest[subjects] = 0; for (int students = 0; students < MAXSTU; students++) { if (marks[students][subjects]> highest[subjects]) highest[subjects] = marks[students][subjects]; } printf (“the highest of the subject number %d is %d”, (subjects+1),highest[subjects]); } /* to find the highest marks scored in each subject*/

Three dimensional arrays [0] [1] [2] [3] marks[0] marks[1] marks[2] ( subject no.) ( student no.) Section 1 [0] [1] [2] [3] marks[0] marks[1] marks[2] ( subject no.) ( student no.) 60 Section 2 In the previous examples we had stored marks of all the students in all their subjects. This is only for one section. If you want to store marks for another section, one more table has to be created. Similarly for a third section, another table has to be created.

Three - Dimensional array ( Subject no.) Section No. ( student no.) Table for Section 1 Table for Section 2 Table for Section 3 Three dimensional arrays can be visualized as a group of tables. Here it can be noticed that the third component is the section no. Therefore the dimensions would be Section, Student, Subject

The three dimensional array would be declared as follows marks[MAXSEC][MAXSTU][MAXSUB] or marks[3][120][6], for a maximum of 3 sections. 120 students. 6 subjects. Three - Dimensional array

DISADVANTAGE OF ARRAYS MEMORY ALLOCATION OF ARRAY IS STATIC Maximum size (maximum number of elements) requested by the programmer would be reserved in the memory irrespective of the usage of the number of elements by the user.The memory space that is unused is wasted. LESS RESOURCE UTILIZATION. DIFFERENT DATA TYPES COULD NOT BE STORED IN AN ARRAY If an array is declared int test[30], only integer values should be entered and not float or any other data type.

PARALLEL ARRAYS IF YOU WANT TO STORE DIFFERENT DATA TYPES For example employee id Gross salary of the employee. Then you require two arrays 1. For storing the integer values of the employee id. 2. For storing the float values of the salary. Therefore int empid [50] flaot salary[50]
