Fixed-Size Arrays: Storing Multiple Values

Arrays store multiple values of the same type in consecutive memory locations. The syntax int scores[5] creates an array that holds 5 integers. Access each element using brackets with an index (starting at 0). Unlike vectors, fixed arrays cannot change size after creation.

snippet.cpp
cpp
#include <iostream>
int main() {
    int scores[5] = {95, 87, 92, 78, 88};
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        std::cout << "Score " << i << ": " << scores[i] << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Breakdown

int scores[5] = {95, 87, 92, 78, 88}

Declares array of 5 integers and initializes with values

scores[i]

Accesses element at index i (0-based: scores[0] is 95)
