An array is a grouping of data elements of a similar sort that are kept in close proximity to one another in memory. In the C programming language, arrays are a derived data type that may contain primitive data types like int, char, double, float, etc. Additionally, it has the capacity to store a variety of derived data types, including pointers, structures, and so forth. The simplest data structure is an array, where each data element may be accessed at random by using its index number.
If you have to keep comparable elements, a C array is useful. For instance, we don't need to construct separate variables for the marks in each single topic if we wish to keep a student's grades across six subjects. as opposed to that,
Features of an Array
The following attributes are present in the array.
An array's elements all have the same data type and size, which is int = 4 bytes.
The array's elements are kept in consecutive memory locations, with the initial element kept at the smallest memory position.
Since we can determine the address of each array element using the base address provided and the size of the data element, array elements can be randomly accessed.
1) Code Optimization: Less code is needed to access the data when using a C array.
2) Convenience of traversal: The for loop makes it simple to get the contents of an array.
3) Sorting is simple: To order the array's items, we
