What is the Maximum Size that an Array can hold?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / chandra
On Windows platform (32 bit) the max array size is FFFFFFFF.
so if you give int arr[0x3FFFFFFF]; it works in VC++.
and if you try arr[0x40000000]; it gives following error:
error C2148: total size of array must not exceed ffffffff
bytes
We came to this value(3FFF FFFF) by dividing FFFFFFFF (2
power 32) by 4 because each int is 4 byte. so for char
array this value will be full FFFF FFFF.

Answer / rajat paliwal
Actually it depends on which mode you are programming.
if ur workin in normal c complier i.e. in dos (16 bit)
then maximum size for
char-> 65535
int ->65535/2=32767
float->32767/2=16382
..
however if you are working in 32 bit operating enviroment
like in VC++
then the maximum size for char = 2 raisec to power 32..
like that..

Answer / reejusri
Maximum size has nothing to do with only the stack area,
but the area where the array is allocated from. The OP did
not say whether the array was created from dynamic memory
(a.k.a the heap), block or local memory (a.k.a. the stack),
or where automatic variables are declared.
The amount of memory available depends on:
1. The total memory on the platform.
2. The amount of memory allocated to the program.
3. The compiler's settings.

Answer / adnan sheikh
max.size of array is 2^32
Because each process contains:
maximum numbers of segments per process=16KB
largest segment size= 4GB
defines in 32 bits
Types of segments are:
data segment
code segment
stack segment
heap segment and many more.
Hopefully we will satisfies with my answer.

Answer / prasant
It depends on the stack size. If the compiler option is
chosen as default then the default stack size is 1MB and an
array can be allocated upto 1MB size. If the array size
exceeds this limit then the program will throw stack
overflow error.

Answer / sankalp bose
For arrays allocated on the stack, it depends upon the
maximum stack size. For example, for gcc, it is normally 64K
but may be something else. For arrays allocated dynamically
or arrays defined in global/static scope, this number is
different and depends upon the maximum heap area size and
the maximum data segment size respectively. The getrlimit
system call can be used to get all these values.

Board Coloring Problem Description In this problem you are given a board in which some of the elements are placed as shown in diagram below. Each element represents a color. Fill the other elements in the board, such that none of the adjacent elements (vertically, horizontally and diagonally) should be of the same color. Find out the minimum number of colors that should be used to fill the blank spaces in the board, so that the above condition is met. Color representation is -: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7……………………. There is sample board: For Example: Given Board : Matrix representation of board is : [ _ 1 _ _ ] [ 2 _ _ _ ] [ _ _ 2 _ ] [ 2 _ _ _ ] here blank space is represented by '_' . Minimum colors to fill this board (given in the picture)is 4. Instruction to work with Open PBT Client: Specify the work directory path in the 'Work directory Path' field. The path should correspond to your solution Work directory. Download the support files by clicking the Get Dev Files. You will find the problem directories containing: problem.h file problem.c file in your project directory. Code the solution in.c file inside the problem directory All required files will be downloaded to your work directory. Creating additional files is strongly discouraged. Step 1: In your Solution File: Implement your logic in function int color(char board[4][4]) char board[4][4]board is 2 dimensional matrix of order M X M where M = 4. You can create more functions if required, but those functions should be in the same file. Step 2: In your solution keep in mind the following constraints. In this problem you have to write a program that finds the minimum number of colors needed to fill a board in which some of the elements are placed in advance. Function color() will take 2 dimension board as a input. Function color() returns the minimum number of colors that could fill the board meeting the given condition. Board is a 2 dimensional of M X M where M = 4 else return 0 Fill the other elements in the board, such that none of the adjacent elements (vertically, horizontally and diagonally) should be of the same color. The Prototype of the function is int color(char board[4][4]) This function takes following arguments. board is 2 dimensional matrix of order M X M where M = 4. This function returns minimum no of color by which board can be filled. The constraints are: Board is a 2 dimensional of M X M where M = 4 else return 0 Fill the other elements in the board, such that none of the adjacent elements (vertically, horizontally and diagonally) should be of the same color. Example 1 Input { 2 0 _ 1 } { _ 1 _ _ } { _ 2 _ 0 } { _ _ _ 1 } Output 5 Explanation: We need a minimum 5 different colors to complete the board. Example 2 Input { 2 0 _ 1 3} { _ 1 _ _ 2} { _ 2 _ 0 1} { _ _ _ 1 2} { _ _ _ _ 0} Output 0 Explanation: Size of the board is greater than 4X4. Example 3 Input { _ 0 } { 1 _ } Output 0 Explanation: Size of the board is less than 4X4. For C solutions Header File : boardcoloring.h Function Name : int color(char board1[4][4]) File Name : boardcoloring.c For C++ solutions Header File : boardcoloring.h Class Name : BoardColoring Function Name : int color(char board1[4][4]) File Name : boardcoloring.c
Do you know the use of vtable?
You have to take 2 arrays of length 10. Input the values of array 1 from the user. Then copy the values of array 1 to array 2 in ascending order For example if user enters 9, 5, 6, 8, 1, 0, 2, 7, 4, 3 then copy the smallest element i.e. 0 first followed by 1, 2 and so
