I. OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the experiment, students must be able to:

Cognitive
a) understand how single and multi-dimensional array executes
b) understand the logic of arrays declaration and accession.
c) understand how arrays are manipulated and used
.
Psychomotor:
a) construct a program using arrays
b) compile and debug the error of the program

Affective
a) appreciate the concept behind this experiment

II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Array is a sequence of objects of the same type and packaged together under one identifier name. The
first element in an array is at position zero: array [0]. There are three steps to create an array:
Declaration, Construction and Initialization.

Declaring one-dimensional

data_type name_of_array[integer_expression];

Example:

Referencing an element in a one-dimensional array

The syntax is:

<array name> [<index>]
 Array Assignment

Example:

Array Controlling

III.EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:

1. Create a program that will store student information in two dimensional array
studentarr[3][3], the program should be able to display the names of the students
and their corresponding grades and averages.

Studentarray[3][3]={{“peter”, 75,77},
{“clark”, 78, 80},
{“logan”,82,84}};
IV. QUESTION AND ANSWER:

1. Why is it necessary, being a programmer, to use arrays? What are the risks of not using
arrays?
 The fact that arrays model how a computer works with memory and bytes written to
and from disks is one of the main reasons they are popular as a storage and retrieval
mechanism in applications. As a result, they are the simplest to generate internally
using efficient hardware-facing code. When it comes to reading and writing data,
arrays have two significant advantages:

Sequential access that is extremely rapid

Extremely fast random access

2. When do usually single dimensional array is used?

 All types of lists are represented by one-dimensional arrays. These are also used to
create data structures like stacks, queues, heaps, and so on. One Dimensional Array
Limitations: Prior knowledge of the number of elements is required.
