In this chapter, we learned how arrays are homogenous groupings of data types, unlike structures. We then learned how to declare arrays, as well as how to initialize them in various ways depending on how they were declared. We saw that we don't always have to specify the size of an array if we initialize it with values when it is declared. Once arrays have been declared, their size cannot change. We learned how to access array elements via the element's offset, also known as the index or subscript. We further saw how to manipulate the simplest kind of array—a one-dimensional array—directly via the for()… loop, as well as by using arrays as function parameters.
This chapter is a prerequisite to Chapter 12, Working with Multi-Dimensional Arrays, through Chapter 16, Creating and Using More Complex Structures, where various aspects of arrays will be explored with greater complexity. In Chapter 12, Working with Multi-Dimensional Arrays...
