1. One dimensional integer array

    Code Listing: 

// Author:    Herbert Schildt
// File name: ~ftp/pub/class/cpluslus/Array1.cpp
// Purpose:   Read 10 integers into an array and then print
//	      them out

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int sample[10]; // this reserves 10 integer elements
	int t;

	// load the array
	for(t = 0; t < 10; t++)
		sample[t] = t;

	// display the array
	for(t = 0; t < 10; ++t)
		cout << sample[t] << ' ' ;
	
	return 0;
}

2. One dimensional character array (C-string)

Code listing:

// File name: ~ftp/pub/class/cplusplus/Array/Array2.cpp
// Purpose:   Demonstrate the use of character array.
//	      Ask for the user's name and print it out.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h> //for newer compilers, include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	char name[32]; // big enough to hold 32 characters

	// prompt for the name
	cout << "What's your name?" << endl;
	gets(name); // read a string from the key board.
	cout << "Hello! " << name << "!"  << endl;

	return 0;

3. Two dimensional integer array

Code listing:

// Author:    Herbert Schildt 
// Modified:  Qiang Hu
// File name: ~ftp/pub/class/cplusplus/Array/Array3.cpp
// Purpose:   Use sqrs[][] -- two dimentional integer
//	      array to store integers from 1 to 10 and
//	      their squares.  
//            Ask user for a number, then look up this
// 	      number in the array and then print out its
//            corresponding square.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  // C++ allows for the initialization of arrays.  In the following,
  // we are initializing a 10x2 integer array. After initialization,
  // sqrs[0][0] = 1
  // sqrs[0][1] = 1
  // sqrs[1][0] = 2
  // sqrs[1][1] = 4 
  // and so on
  int sqrs[10][2] = { 
         {1, 1}, 
	 {2, 4}, // The square of 2 is 4,and so on
	 {3, 9}, 
	 {4, 16}, 
	 {5, 25}, 
	 {6, 36}, 
	 {7, 49}, 
	 {8, 64}, 
	 {9, 81}, 
	 {10, 100} 
  };

  int i, j;

  cout << "Enter a number between 1 and 10: ";
  cin >> i;

  // look up i
  for(j = 0; j < 10; j++) 
    if(sqrs[j][0] == i) break; // break from loop if i is found 
  cout << "The square of " << i << " is " ;
  cout << sqrs[j][1] << endl;

  return 0;
}
