Practical C Programming

How it works...

Because we want to specify the length of the array, we will first define a macro called max and initialize it to a value of 100. I have defined the value of max as 100 because I assume that I will not need to enter more than 100 values in an array, but it can be any value as desired. An array, p, is defined of size max elements. You will be prompted to specify the length of the array. Let's specify the length of the array as 5. We will assign the value 5 to the variable n. Using a for loop, you will be asked to enter the elements of the array.

Let's say you enter the values in the array, as shown in Figure 1.1 given earlier:

In the preceding diagram, the numbers, 0, 1, 2, and so on are known as index or subscript and are ...
