Answer Posted / geetha gajendiran
array is a collection of similar data types;
i can explain with following example:
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int x;
x=5;
x=10;
printf("\nx=%d",x);
}
here 10 is assigned to x.thereby 5 get lost.this is
applicable when only one value is stored.
but,if we want to store more than one value at a time in a
single variable.we go for using the array
suppose we want to arrange the payment of 100 workers in
ascending order.we have 2 options
1)construct 100 vari8ables to store the payment amount
obtained by 100 different workers.
2)construct one(1) variable (called array or subscripted
variable) capable of storing or holding all the hundred
values.
