## Memory Allocation In Array
|
||||
Normally variables occupy memory in a Random Manner, i.e. if I declare
|
||||
```C
|
||||
int a;
|
||||
float b;
|
||||
```
|
||||
`a` and `b` are each assigned a random memory address (e.g. 3004 and 5006). That doesn't happen in the case of an array.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's consider an example:
|
||||
If the first element is assigned memory address 2000, then the second will be assigned 2002 if it is an `int` array.
|
||||
Memory allocation is continuous in Arrays, not random like variables.
|
||||
|
||||
As an example, consider an array `a[4]`, which contains 5 elements:
|
||||
|
||||
| Position | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|
||||
|:---------|:--:|:--:|:--:|:--:|
|
||||
| Value | 1 | 5 | 3 | 6 |
|
||||
| Address |2000|2002|2004|2006|
|
||||
|
||||
## Strings
|
||||
Arrays are sets of variables of the same data type, and strings are sets of characters. As a result, we can represent strings with an array. You _can_ declare something in the same way as before, but you'll need to place '\0' as one of your values (more on that in a minute!):
