## What are Arrays?
|
||||
An array is a series of elements of the same data type which are stored in contiguous memory locations and can be referenced individually.
|
||||
|
||||
Declaration:
|
||||
dataType arrayName[arraySize];
|
||||
|
||||
For example, an array containing 5 integer values called numbers is declared like so:
|
||||
```C++
|
||||
int numbers [5];

## Types Of Arrays

There are two types of array based on way, we declare it.

There are two types of arrays based on the way we declare it.
|

|
||||
**1**. Static array:
|
||||
Those arrays whose size is defined before compile time like in the examples above, are called static arrays. In these arrays we can't change their size, once they are declared.

|

|

**2**. Dynamic array:
|
||||
Dynamic arrays are those arrays, whose size is not known at compile time and we can define their size at run time. These arrays are created by using **new** keyword and when done with that array we can delete that array by using the **delete** keyword.

How to insert and print array elements:
|

```C++
|
||||
int vnum[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
|
||||
|
||||
// change 4th element to 9
|
||||
vnum[3] = 9;
|
||||
|
||||
// take input from the user and insert in third element
|
||||
cin >> vnum[2];
|
||||
|
||||
// take input from the user and insert in (i+1)th element
|
||||
cin >> vnum[i];
|
||||
|
||||
// print first element of the array
|
||||
cout << vnum[0];
|
||||
|
||||
// print (i)th element of the array
|
||||
cout >> vnum[i-1];
