Chapter 8

Arrays

Abstract

This chapter covers all aspects of C arrays. The proper use of subscripts for indexing various data types is shown with many examples. In addition to the most common single-dimension array, this chapter explains the use of multidimensional arrays as well.

The proper syntax for the initialization of arrays with initializers is covered, including dimensionless declarations. C strings as variables are introduced as constant arrays.

Lookup tables, searching arrays, and sorting arrays are all part of this chapter. The linear search, binary search, and Shell sort algorithms are shown in C.

Examples and exercises are for the popular PIC™ microcontroller manufactured by Microchip.
