NEED OF ARRAY VARIABLE

 Suppose we need to store rollno of the student in the integer variable.

Declaration
int rollno;
 Now we need to store rollno of 100 students.
Declaration
int rollno101, rollno102, rollno103, rollno104...;

 This is not appropriate to declare these many integer variables.

 e.g. 100 integer variables for rollno.
 Solution to declare and store multiple variables of similar type is an array.
 An array is a variable that can store multiple values.
DEFINITION: ARRAY
 An array is a fixed size sequential collection of elements of same data type grouped
under single variable name.

[0] [1] [2] … [99]

int rollno[100];

Fixed Size Sequential Same Data type Single Name

Here, the size of an It is indexed to 0 to 99 in All the elements (0-99) All the elements (0-99)
array is 100 (fixed) to sequence will be integer variables will be referred as a
store rollno common name rollno
DECLARING AN ARRAY
 By default array index starts with 0.
 If we declare an array of size 5 then its index ranges from 0 to 4.
 First element will be store at mark[0] and last element will be stored at mark[4] not
mark[5].
 Like integer and float array we can declare array of type char.

Integer Array Syntax data-type variable-name[size];

int mark[5];

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [0] [1] [2] [3] [4]

Float Array
integer float
float avg[5];

STRING
(CHARACTER ARRAY)
DEFINITION: STRING
 A String is a one-dimensional array of characters terminated by a null('\0').

[0] [1] [2] … [9]

char name[10];

 Each character in the array occupies one byte of memory, and the last character must
always be null('\0').
 The termination character ('\0') is important in a string to identify where the string
ends.

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
name[10] D A R S H A N \0
DECLARING & INITIALIZING STRING
Declaration
char name[10];

Initialization method 1:
char name[10]={'D','A','R','S','H','A','N','\0'};

Initialization method 2:
char name[10]="DARSHAN";
//'\
0' will be automatically inserted at the end in this type of declaration.

[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
name[10] D A R S H A N \0
READ STRING: SCANF()
 There is no need to use address of (&) operator in scanf to store a string.
 As string name is an array of characters and the name of the array, i.e., name indicates the
base address of the string (character array).
 scanf() terminates its input on the first whitespace(space, tab, newline etc.)
encountered. Program
1 void main()
2 {
3 char name[10];
4 printf("Enter name:");
5 scanf("%s",name);
6 printf("Name=%s",name);
7 }
Output
Enter name: Darshan
Name=Darshan

Output
Enter name: CE Darshan
Name=CE
READ STRING: GETS()
 gets(): Reads characters from the standard input and stores them as a string.
 puts(): Prints characters from the standard.
 scanf(): Reads input until it encounters whitespace, newline or End Of File(EOF)
whereas gets() reads input until it encounters newline or End Of File(EOF).
 gets(): Does not stop reading input when it encounters whitespace instead it takes
whitespace as a string.

Program
1 #include<stdio.h>
2 void main()
3 {
4 char name[10];
5 printf("Enter name:"); Output
6 gets(name); //read string including white spaces Enter name:Darshan Institute
7 printf("Name=%s",name); Name=Darshan Institute
8 }
STRING HANDLING FUNCTIONS : STRLEN()
 C has several inbuilt functions to operate on string. These functions are known as string
handling functions.
 strlen(s1): returns length of a string in integer

Program
1 #include <stdio.h> Output
2 #include <string.h> //header file for string functions Enter string: CE Darshan
3 void main() 10
4 {
5 char s1[10];
6 printf("Enter string:");
7 gets(s1);
8 printf("%d",strlen(s1)); // returns length of s1 in integer
9 }
STRING HANDLING FUNCTIONS: STRCMP()
 strcmp(s1,s2): Returns 0 if s1 and s2 are the same.
 Returns less than 0 if s1<s2.
 Returns greater than 0 if s1>s2.
Program
1 void main() Output
2 { Enter string-1:Computer
3 char s1[10],s2[10]; Enter string-2:Computer
4 printf("Enter string-1:"); Strings are same
5 gets(s1);
6 printf("Enter string-2:"); Output
7 gets(s2); Enter string-1:Computer
8 if(strcmp(s1,s2)==0) Enter string-2:Computer
9 printf("Strings are same"); Strings are same
10 else
11 printf("Strings are not same");
12 }
STRING HANDLING FUNCTIONS
For examples consider: char s1[]="Their",s2[]="There";
Syntax Description
strcpy(s1,s2) Copies 2nd string to 1st string.
strcpy(s1,s2) copies the string s2 in to string s1 so s1 is now “There”. s2
remains unchanged.

strcat(s1,s2) Appends 2nd string at the end of 1st string.

strcat(s1,s2); a copy of string s2 is appended at the end of string s1. Now
s1 becomes “TheirThere”

strchr(s1,c) Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of a given character in the string s1.
printf("%s",strchr(s1,'i'));
Output : ir

strstr(s1,s2) Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of a given string s2 in string s1.
printf("%s",strstr(s1,"he"));
Output : heir
STRING HANDLING FUNCTIONS (CONT…)
For examples consider: char s1[]="Their",s2[]="There";

Syntax Description
strrev(s1) Reverses given string.
strrev(s1); makes string s1 to “riehT”
strlwr(s1) Converts string s1 to lower case.
printf("%s",strlwr(s1)); Output : their
strupr(s1) Converts string s1 to upper case.
printf("%s",strupr(s1)); Output : THEIR
strncpy(s1,s2,n) Copies first n character of string s2 to string s1
s1=""; s2="There";
strncpy(s1,s2,2);
printf("%s",s1); Output : Th

strncat(s1,s2,n) Appends first n character of string s2 at the end of string s1.

strncat(s1,s2,2);
printf("%s", s1); Output : TheirTh
STRING HANDLING FUNCTIONS (CONT…)
For examples consider: char s1[]="Their",s2[]="There";
Syntax Description
strncmp(s1,s2,n) Compares first n character of string s1 and s2 and returns similar result as
strcmp() function.
printf("%d",strcmp(s1,s2,3)); Output : 0

strrchr(s1,c) Returns the last occurrence of a given character in a string s1.

printf("%s",strrchr(s2,'e')); Output : ere
