C++: Arrays

About Arrays in C++

The array data structure in C++ is a fixed-size collection of elements of the same type referenced by an integer index. C++ supports several types of arrays:

• One-dimensional array - inherited from the C language
• Multidimensional array, i.e. "arrays of arrays" - inherited from the C language
• Array class template - feature of C++

Example: Array of one dimensional bowling scores array and average calculation

	#include 
	using namespace std;

	int scores [] = {125, 133, 166, 123};
	int x, total=0, average=0;

	int main ()
	{
	  for ( x=0 ; x<4 ; ++x )
	  {
		total += scores[x];
	  }
	  average = total / x;
	  cout << "Bowling average: " << average;
	  return 0;
	}
	

Output:

  Bowling average: 136
