Chapter 7

Flashcards covering the key vocabulary and concepts related to one-dimensional arrays as introduced in the programming for engineers lecture.

Array

Offset

The index used to specify individual elements in an array, starting from 0.

Initialization List

A list used to initialize the elements of an array at the time of definition.

Statistical Measurements

Techniques used to analyze and interpret data sets effectively.

Function

A reusable block of code that performs a specific task.

Syntax of Array Declaration

datatype identifier[arraysize] = initializationlist; where arraysize must be an integer constant.

Contiguous Memory

Memory allocation where elements are stored one after the other in a continuous block.

Index

The numerical position of an element within an array, also known as a subscript.

C-style String

A sequence of characters terminated by a null character ('\0').
