What is an array in C?

An Array is a group of similar types of elements. It has a contiguous memory location. It makes the code optimized, easy to traverse and easy to sort. The size and type of arrays cannot be changed after its declaration.

Example of an array:

int main()  
{  
   int arr[5]={1,2,3,4,5}; //an array consists of five integer values.  
   for(int i=0;i<5;i++)  
   {  
       printf(“%d “,arr[i]);  
   }  
    return 0;  
}  

Output:

1 2 3 4 5
