elements that share the same data type.
Elements in an array share the same

How to Refer Array Elements
We can reference array elements by using the
array’s subscript. The first element has a
subscript of 0. The last element in an array of
length n has a subscript of n-1.
When we write a program, we refer to an
individual array element using indexing. To index
a subscript, use the array name and the subscript
in a pair of square brackets:
a[12];

Arrays and Loops
Since we can refer to individual array elements
using numbered indexes, it is very common for
programmers to use for loops when processing
arrays.

Array Types in C++
C++ supports two types of arrays:
Fixed Length Arrays – The
programmer “hard codes” the length of
the array, which is fixed at run-time.
Variable-Length Arrays – The
programmer doesn’t know the array’s
length until run-time.

Declaring an Array
To declare an array, we need to specify
its data type, the array’s identifier and the
size:
type arrayName [arraySize];
The arraySize can be a constant (for
fixed length arrays) or a variable (for
variable-length arrays).
Before using an array (even if it is a
variable-length array), we must declare and

Declaring an Array
So what is actually going on when you set up
an array?
Memory
Each element is held in the next location along
in memory
Essentially what the PC is doing is looking at
the FIRST address (which is pointed to by the
variable p) and then just counts along.

Accessing Elements
To access an array’s element, we need
to provide an integral value to identify the
index we want to access.
We can do this using a constant:
scores[0];
We can also use a variable:
for(i = 0; i < 9; i++)
{
scoresSum += scores[i];
}

Accessing Elements
We can initialize fixed-length array elements
when we define an array.
If we initialize fewer values than the length of
the array, C++ assigns zeroes to the remaining
elements.

Inserting Values using a for Loop
Once we know the length of an array or the
size of the array, we can input values using a for
loop:
arrayLength = 9;
for (j = 0; j < arrayLength; j++)
{
cin>> scores[j];
}//end for

Assigning Values to Individual array
Elements
We can assign any value that reduces to an
array’s data type:
scores[5] = 42;
scores[3] = 5 + 13;
scores[8] = x + y;
scores[0] = pow(7, 2);

Copying Entire Arrays
We cannot directly copy one array to another,
even if they have the same length and share the
same data type.
Instead, we can use a for loop to copy values:
for(m = 0; m < 25; m++)
{
a2[m] = a1[m];
}//end for

Swapping Array Elements
To swap (or exchange) values, we must use a
temporary variable. A common novice’s mistake
is to try to assign elements to one another:
/*The following is a logic error*/
numbers[3] = numbers[1];
/*A correct approach …*/
temp = numbers[3];
numbers[1] = temp;

Printing Array Elements
To print an array’s contents, we would use a
for loop:
for(k = 0; k < 9; k++)
{
cout<<scores[k];
}//end for

Range Checking
Unlike some other languages, C++ does not
provide built-in range checking. Thus, it is
possible to write code that will produce “out-of-
range” errors, with unpredictable results.
Common Error (array length is 9):
for(j = 1; j <= 9; j++)
{
cin>>scores[j]);
}//end for

Passing Elements to Functions
So long as an array element’s data type matches
the data type of the formal parameter to which we
pass that element, we may pass it directly to a
function:
AnyFunction(myArray[4]);
…
void AnyFunction(int anyValue)
{
…
}

Passing Elements to Functions
We may also pass the address of an element:
anyFunction(&myArray[4]);
…
void anyFunction(int* anyValue)
{
*anyValue = 15;
}

Arrays are Passed by Reference
Unlike individual variables or elements, which
we pass by value to functions, C++ passes
arrays to functions by reference.
The array’s name identifies the address of the
array’s first element.
To reference individual elements in a called
function, use the indexes assigned to the array in
the calling function.

Passing a Fixed-Length Array
When we pass a fixed-length array to a
function, we need only to pass the array’s
name:
AnyFunction(myArray);
In the called function, when can declare the
formal parameter for the array using empty
brackets (preferred method):
void AnyFunction(int passArray[ ]);
or, we can use a pointer:
void AnyFunction(int* passArray);

Passing a Variable-Length Array
When we pass a variable-length we must
define and declare it as variable length. In the
function declaration, we may use an asterisk
as the array size or we me use a variable
name:
void AnyFunction(int size, int passArray[*]);
In the function definition, we must use a
variable (that is within the function’s scope) for
the array size:
void AnyFunction(int size, int passArray[size]);

Searching
&
Sorting Techniques

Searching is the process of finding the
location of a target value within a list.
C++ supports type basic algorithms for
searching arrays:
The Sequential Search (may use on
an unsorted list)
The Binary Search (must use only on
a sorted list)
Searching

We should only use the sequential
search on small lists that aren’t searched
very often.
The sequential search algorithm begins
searching for the target at the first element
in an array and continues until (1) it finds
the target or (2) it reaches the end of the
list without finding the target
Sequential Search

Sequential Search Program
Found=0;
for(i=0; i<size; i++)
{
If (a[i]==SKey)
Found=1; pos=i;
}
If(Found)
cout<<“Element is found @ position ” <<pos+1;
else
cout<< “Element Not exists in the list”;

Binary Search
We should use the binary search on large lists (>50
elements) that are sorted.
The binary search divides the list into two halves.
First, it searches for the target at the midpoint of the list. It
can then determine if the target is in the first half of the list or
the second, thus eliminating half of the values.
With each subsequent pass of the data, the algorithm re-
calculates the midpoint and searches for the target.
With each pass, the algorithm narrows the search scope by
half.
The search always needs to track three values – the
midpoint, the first position in the scope and the last position
in the scope.

Binary Search- needs sorted list
beg=1;
end=n;
mid=(beg+end)/2; // Find Mid Location of
Array
while(beg<=end && a[mid]!=item)
{
if(a[mid]<item) beg=mid+1;
else end=mid-1;
mid=(beg+end)/2;
}
if(a[mid]==item)
{ cout<<"nData is Found at Location : "<<mid; }
else { cout<<"Data is Not Found“; }

Sorting

Sorting
Sorting is the “process through which data are
arranged according to their values.”
Sorted lists allow us to search for data more
efficiently.
Sorting algorithms depend heavily on swapping
elements – remember, to swap elements, we
need to use a temporary variable!
We’ll examine three sorting algorithms – the
Selection Sort, the Bubble Sort and the Insertion
Sort.

Types of Sorting algorithmsTypes of Sorting algorithms
There are many, many different types of
sorting algorithms, but the primary ones are:
 Bubble Sort
 Selection Sort
 Insertion Sort
 Merge Sort
 Shell Sort
 Heap Sort
Quick Sort
Radix Sort
Swap sort

Divide the list into two sublists: sorted and
unsorted, with the sorted sublist preceding
the unsorted sublist.
 In each pass,
Find the smallest item in the unsorted sublist
 Exchange the selected item with the first
item in the sorted sublist.
 Thus selection sort is known as exchange
selection sort that requires single array to work
with.
Selection Sort

Selection sort program
void selectionSort(int a[ ], int N)
{
int i, j, small;
for (i = 0; i < (N - 1); i++)
{
small = a[i];
// Find the index of the minimum element
for (int j = i + 1; j < N; j++)
{ if (a[j] < small)
{ small=a[j];
minIndex = j;
}
}
swap(a[i], small);
} }

Selection sort example

Observations about
Selection sortAdvantages:
1. Easy to use.
2. The efficiency DOES NOT depend on initial arrangement
of data
3. Could be a good choice over other methods when data
moves are costly but comparisons are not.
Disadvantages:
1. Performs more transfers and comparison compared to
bubble sort.
2. The memory requirement is more compared to insertion
& bubble sort.

Basic Idea:-
 Divide list into sorted the unsorted sublist is
“bubbled” up into the sorted sublist.
 Repeat until done:
1.Compare adjacent pairs of records/nodes.
2. If the pair of nodes are out of order,
exchange them, and continue with the next pair
of records/nodes.
3. If the pair is in order, ignore and unsorted
sublists.
 Smallest element in them and continue with the
next pair of nodes.
Bubble Sort

void BubbleSort(int a[],int N)
{
int i , j , tmp;
for (i=0;i<N; i++)
{
for(j=0 ; j < (N-1)-i ; j++)
{
if (a[j]>a[j+1]) //swap the values if previous is greater
{ // than ext one
tmp=a[j];
a[j]=a[j+1];
a[j+1]=tmp;
}
} }
Bubble Sort Program

Observations about Bubble Sort
Advantages:
1. Easy to understand & implement.
2. Requires both comparison and swapping.
3. Lesser memory is required compared to
other sorts.
Disadvantages:
1. As the list grows larger the performance of
bubble sort get reduced dramatically.
2. The bubble sort has a higher probability of
high movement of data.

Insertion sort
 Commonly used by card players: As each
card is picked up, it is placed into the proper
sequence in their hand.
 Divide the list into a sorted sublist and an
unsorted sublist.
 In each pass, one or more pieces of data are
removed from the unsorted sublist and inserted
into their correct position in a sorted sublist.

Insertion sort program
Initially array contents are (9,4,3,2,34,1)

2 3 4 9 34 1
2 3 4 9 34 1
1 2 3 4 9 34
1 2 3 4 9 34

Insertion sort program
void insertionSort(int a[ ], int N)
{
int temp,i, j;
a[0]=INT_MIN;
for(i=1;i<N ; i++)
{
temp=a[i]; j=i-1;
while(temp < AR[j])
{ a[j+1]=a[j];
j--;
}
a[j+1]=temp;
}
}

Observations about insertion sort
Advantages:
1.Simplicity of the insertion sort makes it a
reasonable approach.
2.The programming effort in this techniques is trivial.
3.With lesser memory available insertion sort proves
useful.
Disadvantage:
1. The sorting does depend upon the distribution of
element values.
2. For large arrays -- it can be extremely inefficient!

Merging of two sorted arrays into third
array in sorted order
 Algorithm to merge arrays a[m](sorted in ascending
order) and b[n](sorted in descending order) into third
array C [ n + m ] in ascending order.
Merge(int a[ ], int m, int b[n], int c[ ])
{
int i=0; // i points to the smallest element of the array a
which is at index 0
int j=n-1;// j points to the smallest element of the array b
//which is at the index m-1 since b is sorted in
//descending order

int k=0; //k points to the first element of the array c
while(i<m&&j>=0)
{
if(a[i]<b[j])
c[k++]=a[i++]; // copy from array a into array c
and then increment i and k
else
c[k++]=b[j--]; // copy from array b into array c
and then decrement j and
increment k
}

while(i<m) //copy all remaining elements of array a
c[k++]=a[i++];
while(j>=0) //copy all remaining elements of array b
c[k++]=b[j--];
} // end of Function.

void main()
{
int a[5]={2,4,5,6,7},m=5; //a is in ascending order
int b[6]={15,12,4,3,2,1},n=6; //b is in descending order
int c[11];
merge(a, m, b, n, c);
cout<<”The merged array is :n”;
for(int i=0; i<m+n; i++)
cout<<c[i]<”, “;
}
Output is
The merged array is:
1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 15

1. Row Major Order for a[m][n] or a[0…m-1][0…n-1]
Address of a[I, J] element = B + w(Nc (I-Lr)+(J-Lc)
2.Column Major Order- a[m][n] or a[0…m-1][0…n-1]
Address of a[I, J] element = B + w(Nr (J-Lc)+(I-Lr)
B = Base Address, I = subscript (row), J = subscript
(column), Nc = No. of column, Nr = No. of rows, Lr = row
lower bound(0) , Lc = column lower bound (0), Uc=column
upper bound(n-1) ,Ur =row upper bound (m-1), w =
element size.

1. Row Major Order formula
X = B + W * [ I * C + J ]
2.Column Major Order formula
X = B + W * [I + J * R]
Memory Address Calculation

 An array S[10][15] is stored in the memory with each
element requiring 4 bytes of storage. If the base address of
S is 1000, determine the location of S[8][9] when the array
is S stored by CBSE 1998 OUTISDE DELHI 3
 (i) Row major (ii) Column major.
ANSWER
Let us assume that the Base index number is [0]
[0].
Number of Rows = R = 10
Number of Columns = C = 15 Size of data = W = 4
• Base address = B = S[0][0] = 1000 Location of S[8]
[9] = X

(i) When S is stored by Row Major
X = B + W * [ 8 * C + 9]
= 1000 + 4 * [8 * 15 + 9]
= 1000 + 4 * [120 + 9]
= 1000 + 4 * 129
= 1516
(ii) When S is stored by Column Major
X = B + W * [8 + 9 * R]
= 1000 + 4 * [8 + 9 * 10]
= 1000 + 4 * [8 + 90]
= 1000 + 4 * 98
= 1000 + 392
= 1392
