Objectives

• To Learn about arrays• Explore how to declare and manipulate data

into arrays• Understand the meaning of “array index out of

bounds”• Become familiar with the restrictions on array

processing


Two kinds of Multidimensional Arrays

There are two basic ways of implementing 2-dimensional arrays:

true two-dimensional arrays, and arrays of arrays.

Some languages use one method, some another, and some both.

C++ allows both methods, and each has its advantages and disadvantages.


Two kinds of Multidimensional Arrays

1. True arrays• In this case the rows are laid out sequentially in memory. • This provides simplicity in memory management and a slight

speed advantage. • This is the kind of array C/C++ creates by default.

1. Arrays of arrays• In this style each element of a one-dimensional array is a

pointer to another array. • It's a common way to create an array of C-strings. • The disadvantage is that memory management can be a little

more complex and there is a slight performance overhead.


Multidimensional Array Declaration

Syntax

Type Array_Name[Size_Dim_1][Size_Dim_2] . . . [Size_Dim_Last];

Examples

char page[30][100];int matrix[2][3];double three_d_picture[10][20][30];

An array declaration, of the form shown, defines one indexed variable for each combination of array indexes. For instance, the second of the sample declarations defines the following six indexed variables for the array matrix:

matrix[0][0], matrix[0][1], matrix[0][2], matrix[1][0], matrix[1][1], matrix[0][2]


Multidimensional Array Parameters

When a multidimensional array parameter is given in a function heading or function declaration, the size of the first dimension is not given, but the remaining dimension sizes must be given in square brackets. Since the first dimension size is not given, we usually need an additional parameter of type int that gives the size of this first dimension. Below is an example of a function declaration with a two-dimensional array parameter p:

void get_page(char p[][100], int size_dimension_1);


#include <iostream>using namespace std;

int main (){ int col, row; for (row=0; row <=2; row++) { for (col=0; col <=2; col++) cout << "a[" <<row << "," << col << "] "; cout << endl; } system(“pause”); return 0;}

a[0,0] a[0,1] a[0,2]a[1,0] a[1,1] a[1,2]a[2,0] a[2,1] a[2,2]



int main (){ int col, row; int a[3][3]; for (row=0; row <=2; row++) for (col=0; col <=2; col++) { cout << "a[" <<row << "," << col << "]= "; cin >> a[row][col]; } for (row=0; row <=2; row++) { for (col=0; col <=2; col++) cout << a[row][col] << '\t'; cout << endl; }}

Read an array of 3x3 then print its elements

a[0,0]= 5a[0,1]= -6a[0,2]= 1a[1,0]= 7a[1,1]= 88a[1,2]= 2a[2,0]= 0a[2,1]= 5a[2,2]= 9

int main (){ int col, row, max; int a[3][3]; for (row=0; row <=2; row++) for (col=0; col <=2; col++) { cout << "a[" <<row << "," << col << "]= "; cin >> a[row][col]; } max=a[0][0]; for (row=0; row <=2; row++) for (col=0; col <=2; col++) if (max< a[row][col]) max=a[row][col]; cout << "\nMax= " << max; }

Read an array of 3x3 then print Max. No.

a[0,0]= 5a[0,1]= -6a[0,2]= 1a[1,0]= 7a[1,1]= 88a[1,2]= 2a[2,0]= 0a[2,1]= 5a[2,2]= 9

int main (){ int col, row, i, j, c=0; int a[3][3], b[9]; for (row=0; row <=2; row++) for (col=0; col <=2; col++) { cout << "a[" <<row << "," << col << "]= "; cin >> a[row][col]; } for (int i=0; i<3; i++) for (int j=0; j<3; j++) { b[c]=a[i][j]; c++; }

for (int i=0 ;i<9; i++) cout << b[i] << '\t'; }

Functions

What is a function?• A program can be thought of as consisting

subparts, such as obtaining the input data, calculating the output data and displaying the output data.

• C++, like most programming languages, has facilities to name and code each of these subparts separately.

• In C++ these subparts are called functions.


Predefined Functions


//Computes the size of a dog house that can be purchased given the//user’s budget#include <iostream>#include <cmath>using namespace std;

int main(){

const double COST_PER_SQ_FT = 10.50;double budget, are, length_side;

cout << "Enter rhe amount budgeted for your dog house $";cin >> budget;

area = budget/COST_PER_SQ_FT;length_side = sqrt(area);

cout.setf(ios::fixed);cout.setf(ios::showpoint);cout.precision(2);cout << "For a price of $" << budget << endl << "I can build for you a luxurious square dog house\n" << "that is " << length_side << "feet on each side.\n";

return 0;

}

Enter the amount budgeted for your dog house: $ 25.00For a price of $ 25.00I can build you a luxurious square dog housethat is 1.54 feet on each side.


• We can define our own functions, either in the same file as the main part of our program of in a separate file so that the functions can be used by several different programs.

Programmer-Defined Functions


FunctionsThere are two components to define a function:

1. Function declaration (or function prototype)* Shows how the function is called* Must appear in the code before the function can be called* Normally placed before the main part of your program

2. Function definition (or function body)* Describes how the function does its task* Can appear before or after the function is called* Normally placed after the main part of your program or in a separate file.


• Syntax:

data_type Function_Name(Parameter_List);

double total(int number, double price);// Compute total cost including 5% sales tax on// number_par items at cost of price_par each

function name formal parameters namedata type parameters type

parameter list

double total(int number, double price) { double tax= 0.05; double subtotal;

subtotal= number * price_par - tax; return subtotal;}

• Syntax:data_type Function_Name(Parameter_List);



double total_cost(int number_par, double price_par);//Computes the total cost, including 5% sales tax, on number_par//items at a cost of price_par each.

int main(){

double price, bill;int number;

cout << "Enter the number of items purchased: ";cin >> number;cout << "Enter the price per item $";cin >> price;

bill = total_cost(number, price);

cout.setf(ios::fixed);cout.setf(ios::showpoint);cout.precision(2);cout << number << " items at " << "$" << price << " each.\n” << "Final bill, including tax, is $" << bill << endl;

return 0;}

double total_cost(int number_par, double price_par){

const double TAX_RATE = 0.05; //5% sales taxdouble subtotal;

subtotal = price_par * number_par;return (subtotal + subtotal*TAX_RATE);

}

Enter the number of items purchased: 2Enter the price per item: $10.102 items at $10.10 each.Final bill, including tax, is $21.21

The Return Statement

• A return statement consists of the keyword return followed by an expression.

• When a return statement is executed, the function call ends

• Returns the value calculated by the function

• A void function is does not necessarily contain a return statement, however it may optionally have one or more return statement.


The Return Statement

• Syntax return expression;

• expression performs the calculation or

• expression is a variable containing the calculated value

• Example return (subtotal + subtotal * tax);

or

return subtotal + subtotal * tax;


Function Call

• A function call is an expression consisting of the function name followed by arguments enclosed in parentheses.

• If there is more than one argument, the arguments are separated by commas.

• A function call is an expression that can be used like any other expression of the type specified for the value returned by the function.


The Function Call

bill = total(number, price);

arguments listfunction name

return value assigned to bill

Syntax

Function_Name(Argument_List);

where the Argument_list is a comma-separated list of arguments:

Argument_1, Argument_2, . . ., Argument_Last

Examples


Void-Function

What is a void-function?

• Subtasks are implemented as functions in C++.

• In C++, a function must either return a single value or return no values at all.

• A function that returns no value is called a void function.


Void-Function

void Function_Name(Parameter_List);

There are two main differences between void-function

definitions and the definitions of functions that return one value:

1. Keyword void replaces the data type of the function

2. No return statement


Syntax for a void Function Declaration

double XtothepowerN(int x, int n) // to find X to the power of n{ double p=1;

for (int i=1; i<= n; i++) p=p * x; return p;}int main (){ int b;

b=XtothepowerN(3,4); cout << "the result is " << b; return 0;}

x to the power of n

the result is 81


A function is like a small program

• To understand functions, keep the following three points in mind:

– A function definition is like a small program and calling the function is the same thing as running this “small program”.

– A function uses formal parameters, rather than cin, for input. The arguments to the function are the input and they are plugged in for the formal parameters.

– A function does not normally send any output to the screen, but it does send a kind of “output” back to the program. The function returns a value, which is like the “output” for the function. The function uses a return statement instead of a cout statement for this “output”.
