Pointers and Arrays Practice

problems
Lecture 23
Example: Passing arrays between functions:

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdio.h>


void display (int); void display (int *);
void main() void main()
{ {
int i; int i;
int marks[] = {55, 65, 75, 56, 78, 78, 90}; int marks[] = {55, 65, 75, 56, 78, 78, 90};
for (i = 0; i <= 6; i++) for (i = 0; i <= 6; i++)
display (marks[i]); display (&marks[i]);
} }
void display (int m) void display (int *m)
{ {
printf (“%d ”, m); printf (“%d ”, *m);
} }
O/P: 55 65 75 56 78 78 90 O/P: 55 65 75 56 78 78 90
Example: Passing an Entire 1D-Array to a Function
using pointers:
Method#1:
Method#2:
#include <stdio.h>
void display (int *, int); #include <stdio.h>
void main() void display (int *);
{ void main()
int num[] = {24, 34, 12, 44, 56, 17}; {
int i;
display (&num[0], 6); // same as display (num, 6);
int num[] = {24, 34, 12, 44, 56, 17};
} for (i = 0; i <= 5; i++)
void display (int *j, int n) display (&marks[i]);
{ }
int i; void display (int *m)
for (i = 0; i <= (n-1); i++) {
{ printf (“%d ”, *m);
printf (“\nelement = %d”, *j); }
j++; /* increment pointer to point to next
element */
}
}
Example: Pointer notation to access 2-D array elements
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int s[4][2] = {{1234, 56}, {1212, 33}, {1434, 80}, {1312, 78}};
int i, j;
for (i = 0; i <= 3; i++){
printf (“\n”);
for (j = 0; j <= 1; j++)
printf (“%d”, *(s[i]+j)); OR printf (“%d”, *(*(s + i)+j));

}
}

O/P:
1234 56
1212 33
1434 80
1312 78
Example :Passing 2-D Array to a Function
/* Three ways of accessing a 2-D array */

void main( ) show ( int ( *q )[4], int row, int col ) // 2nd way
{ {
int a[3][4] = { int i, j ;
1, 2, 3, 4, int *p ;
5, 6, 7, 8, for ( i = 0 ; i < row ; i++ )
9, 0, 1, 6 {
}; p=q+i;
display ( a, 3, 4 ) ; for ( j = 0 ; j < col ; j++ )
show ( a, 3, 4 ) ; printf ( "%d ", * ( p + j ) ) ; }}
print ( a, 3, 4 ) ;
} print ( int q[ ][4], int row, int col ) // 3rd way
display ( int *q, int row, int col ) // one {
way int i, j ;
{ for ( i = 0 ; i < row ; i++ )
int i, j ; {
for ( i = 0 ; i < row ; i++ ) for ( j = 0 ; j < col ; j++ )
{ printf ( "%d ", q[i][j] ) ; }}
for ( j = 0 ; j < col ; j++ )
printf ( "%d ", * ( q + i * col + j ) ) ; }}
Example:
Write a C program to accept 5 numbers, store them in an array and find out the
smallest number using pointer.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a[5],*s,i,small;
s=&a[0];
printf("Enter 5-Elements :\n\n ");
for(i=0;i<5;i++,s++)
scanf("%d",s);
s=&a[0];
small=*s;
for(i=0;i<5;i++,s++)
if(*s<small)
small=*s;
printf("\nSmallest Element : %d",small);
return 0;
}
Example: Write a program which performs the following tasks:
− initialize an integer array of 10 elements in main( )
− pass the entire array to a function modify( )
− in modify( ) multiply each element of array by 3
− return the control to main( ) and print the new array elements in main( )

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int arr[] = { 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 }, i;
modify(arr);
for (i = 0; i<10; i++)
printf("%d ", arr[i]);
return 0;
}
void modify(int *elem)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i<10; i++)
{
*elem *= 3;
elem++; }}
First Method:

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int arr[] = { 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 }, i,j;
for (i = 0; i<10; i++){
modify(&arr[i]);
}
for (j = 0; j<10; j++)
printf("%d\n", arr[j]);
return 0;
}
void modify(int *pnt)
{
*pnt *= 3; OR *pnt = *pnt * 3;
}
Second Method:

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int arr[] = { 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 },j;

modify(&arr[0],10);

for (j = 0; j<10; j++)


printf("%d\n", arr[j]);
}
void modify(int *pnt, int A)
{ int j;
for (j = 0; j<A-1; j++)
{
*pnt *= 3;
pnt++;
}
}
Example: Write a program which performs the following tasks:
− initialize a 2D array in main( )
− pass the entire array to a function modify( )
− in modify( ) multiply each element of array by 3 and then print the new 2D-array
elements in modify( )

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int arr[2][2] = { {1, 2}, {3, 4} }, i;
modify(arr,2,2);
}
void modify(int *q,int row,int col)
{
int i, j ;
for ( i = 0 ; i < row ; i++ )
{
for ( j = 0 ; j < col ; j++ )
printf ( "%d ", * ( q + i * col + j )*3 ) ;
}}
