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.

#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
1
int scores[5] = {95, 87, 92, 78, 88}
Declares array of 5 integers and initializes with values
2
scores[i]
Accesses element at index i (0-based: scores[0] is 95)
