cpp arrays code example

Example 1: how to make an array c++

int foo [] = { 16, 2, 77, 40, 12071 };

Example 2: array declaration c++

int foo [5];

Example 3: array in c++

// Two dimensional array
int a[2][3]= {
        {1, 2, 3},
        {4, 5, 6}
    };
    
    cout << a[1][1]; // Output is 5

// Three dimensional array
//[2] is elements; [3] is rows in elements; [4] is column in elemnents 
int a[2][3][2]= {
        //Element 0
        { {1, 2}, 
          {2, 3}, 
          {4, 5} 
            
        },
        
        
        // Element 1
        { {6, 7}, 
          {8, 9}, 
          {10, 11} 
            
        }
    };
    
    cout << a[0][1][1]; // Prints 3

Example 4: arrays in c++

#include <iostream>
#include <array> //for using std::array

int main()
{

	int example[5];//array on stack
	int* another = new int[5];//array on heap
	delete[] another;//freeing up memory on heap
	example[0] = 1;
	example[1] = 2;
	example[2] = 3;
	example[3] = 4;
	for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
		example[i] = 2;
	}
	int* ptr = example;//arrays are just pointers to the begining of the block of memory
	example[2] = 5;
	*(ptr + 2) = 6;//adding 4+4 bytes to ptr
	std::cout << example[2] << std::endl;//output => 6
	*(int*)((char*)ptr + 8) = 8;//adding 8 bytes to ptr using ptr arithmetic
	std::cout << example[2] << std::endl;//output => 8
	//std::array provide some additional functionality like bounce checking size checking but do have a performance overhead
	std::array<int,5> stda;//creating an array named stda of int 5 size
	std::cout << stda.size() << std::endl;//will output size of std::array ,output =>5   
    std::cin.get();
}

Example 5: c++ initialize array

int arr[3] = {1, 5, 4};

Example 6: array c++

// An example of using std::array
// Basic syntax: std::array<TYPE, SIZE> NAME;
// Note that the size must be a constant

#include <iostream>
#include <array> // Use std::array

int main() {
	std::array<int, 10> arr;
  	arr[0] = 5; // Setting an element
  	std::cout << arr[0] << std::endl; // Element access
  	std::cout << arr.at(0) << std::endl; // Element access with bounds checking
}
