    1. The document discusses arrays, which allow storing a sequence of values in computer memory. Each element in an array has its own index or subscript to identify its location. 2. Constants can be used with arrays in several ways, such as to define the array size, hold element values, or serve as subscripts. Defining constants makes arrays easier to understand and modify. 3. Examples show declaring a constant for array size and using constants as elements, such as storing month names in an array. Constants can also serve as subscripts when accessing specific elements like retrieving a tax amount for a particular city.

    Array

    Module 8 Week 9 Array

    Course Learning Outcomes:


    1. To learn about storing data in array.
    2. To learn about how to use constant with arrays.

    Data Storing in Array


    A sequence of values in computer memory is an Array.
    Frequently, an array has somewhat similar in all values of it. It may
    embody any record of customers profile or bank account number. Every
    time you require a various storage location for an object, you may use
    an actual equivalent of an array in programming. Keeping significant
    documents in a folder and you labeled every folder alphabetically, then
    it is the same with the idea of an array. Likewise, planning what to take
    course for the next semester by means of scanning choices of courses
    open, then it is also an array.

    Array Occupying Computer Memory

    Asserting an array is also declaring a structure that covers


    multiple data items. One element of the array is a data item. Every data
    type has a similar element on it. Succeeding to it, each element lodges a
    range in the computer memory linking to another. Considering the
    amount of the elements an array can hold, and the array’s size and
    stating the constant and variables along with the array.

    A subscript or index is the number values that show the exact


    location of the item inside an array. And every array element differs
    from one another. A subscript represents the distance from the initial
    element and every single element had a unique subscript. Nonetheless,
    entirely of all array elements have the similar group name. Thus, every
    subscripts of an array are constantly an integer’s sequence.

    Using Constants with Arrays

    You can use constants in numerous habits when working with


    arrays:
    • Holding array’s size
    • Array’s values
    • As subscript

    1. Constant as Array’s size

    Naming a constant in its right place then the program you


    are creating is improving. Your program code will be easier
    to understand and modify if we will have a constant name.
    Mostly of the languages, use one of these two methods:

    ✓ Declaring a named number constant like


    SIZE_ARRAY = 19. You can use this sample
    constant every single time you enter an array,
    continually making sure any subscript you use
    remains lesser than the continuous value.

    ✓ Several languages, the array size signifies a


    constant and had routinely provided for each array

    Array

    you made. Example, in Java, after you state an


    array named count, its size is kept in a field name.

    2. Constants as Element Values of an Array

    Occasionally, constants should be kept in values of an


    array since they not change during the execution of the
    program. Assuming that you make an array and it should hold
    names for the months. Don’t make it complicated for the
    array identifier with its content. The array of the name of the
    month can be stated like the following:

    string monthName[12] = "January", "February",


    "March", "April", "May", "June", "July",
    "August", "September", "October", "November",
    "December"

    3. Array Subscript as a Constant

    Not often you need to create unnamed number constant


    as an array’s subscript. Sample of it is to show the initial value
    in array named amountArray, the following statement below
    is an example of an unnamed literal constant:

    output amountArray[0]

    You will also encounter a case to use a named constant as


    a subscript. For instance, if amountArray holds tax amount in
    every 10 cities covered by your company, and Manila is city
    3, the value for Manila is as follows:

    output amountArray[3]
