An array in C is basically a pointer to a sequence of successive elements of the array type;
for example this array char var[4]; is an array of four characters.
In this case "var" will be a pointer to character, or char*, on a system with a 32-bit memory space (all PCs from the 386 up to the year 2008, newer may have a larger memory space) "var" itself will be 32 bits in size.
The first array value is the char-sized (assume 8 bits) memory location where "var" is pointing to; this is "*var" or "var[0]". The second element of the array is "*(var+1*sizeof(char))" or "var[1]", the third "*(var+2*sizeof(char))" or "var[2]" and the fourth is "*(var+3*sizeof(char))" or "var[3]".
because C has no boundary checking trying to write of read "var[4]" (the fifth char) will not rise a violation, however you never requested this memory space! The compiler may very well have decided to put another variable in this place, which will thus be overwritten when writing to it. This is why you should ALWAYS assure that there is no way you could ever write outside of the reserved memory space!
To sum up:
int var[SIZE];
will reserve SIZE slots of "int"-sized memory and a pointer to the first of those ints.
"var" is that pointer, while "var[0]" is the first int.
Assure to never write (or read) to var[X] where X is EQUAL or greater than SIZE (or X less than zero).

What is default value of formal arguments?
In C, there is no default value for formal parameters. In C++, there can be, but the value is whatever you declare in the function declaration.
Do you have pointer concept in c plus plus language?
Yes. All string variables are pointers as are other arrays.
What is the required syntax for creating C arrays?
The required syntax for creating C arrays include the brackets, array size, variety length arrays, codes like std:vector, classPTR, and many more to create C arrays.
Call by function in c language?
I guess you meant the following:'In C language, when you call a function,the parameters are passed by-value.'
1 write a c function that takes a parameters two integer arrays and their sizeboth arrays are of the same size and returns a 1true if the arrays have the same contents or a 0 false if not?
int comp(const int a1[], const int a2[], const int size) { int i; for(i = 0; i < size; ++i) { if(a1[i] != a2[i]) { return 0; } } return 1; }
What is powder crystal method?
The powder method is used to determine the value of the lattice parameters accurately. Lattice parameters are the magnitudes of the unit vectors a, b and c which define the unit cell for the crystal.
What is THIS operator in c?
The this operator is not a c operator. It is a c++ keyword. It is equivalent to an r-value pointer to the current instance of an object. It is useful when resolving between object members and method parameters.
What is an arrays in c?
array is collection of many data
What is the purpose of using arrays in C language?
The purpose of using arrays in C is to store multiple values in one variable. Then you can make programs that use arrays like lists, printing values from multiple arrays into one line. It take memory in continues block then we can know memory location easily. We can retrieve data quickly.
What are the differences between structures and arrays?
Arrays are collections of repeated data items. Structures are complex data items made up of other data items, including, potentially, other structures and arrays. You can, of course, also have arrays of structures. Array items can be accessed by using its subscript whereas structure items can be accessed using its dot or "arrow" operator in C, C++, C#, Java, and JavaScript.
Can an array be passed from a function to the calling portion of the program via a return statement?
It depends on the language, but in most cases yes, you can return arrays to callers via the return statement. In C, arrays can be returned from a function by reference (that is, by pointer) but never by value (arrays cannot be copied automatically). The array must be allocated on the heap, never on the stack (you cannot return references to local variables). However, beware that returning arrays by reference is unsafe because there's no way to determine the upper bound of the array. This is why many C library functions return multiple values through output parameters and use the return value to indicate error conditions. One way to return both the array and its size via a return statement is by returning a structure: struct array_info { void* array_ptr; /* pointer to first element in array */ int size; /* number of elements in the array */ }; Obviously you must cast the array_ptr member to the appropriate type before dereferencing any of the array elements. In C++, C-style arrays work just as they do in C. However, the preferred method is to use a vector rather than a C-style array. A vector is a class template that encapsulates a C-style array with size and reserve, along with a rich set of useful functions (as with all templates, you don't pay for what you don't use). Vectors can be returned from functions both by value and by reference. Vectors also support move semantics making it possible to return vectors allocated on the stack as well as on the heap. C++ also supports an array class template. This is specifically for fixed-size arrays but is otherwise similar to a vector.
What are the data type in c language?
Some of them are: 1. char, short, int, long, float, double 2. pointers to these 3. arrays of these 4. arrays of pointers 5. pointers to arrays ...
