In the C language, arrays can be defined in the following ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Define arrays statically: arrays are defined outside functions or in a global scope. Arrays defined in this way are always present during program execution and their size is determined at compile time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    int<\/span> arr[10<\/span>]; \/\/ \u5b9a\u4e49\u4e00\u4e2a\u5305\u542b10\u4e2a\u6574\u6570\u7684\u6570\u7ec4<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Allocate memory<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      int<\/span> n;\r\nscanf<\/span>(\"%d\"<\/span>, &n);\r\nint<\/span> *arr = (int<\/span>*)malloc<\/span>(n * sizeof<\/span>(int<\/span>)); \/\/ \u52a8\u6001\u5206\u914dn\u4e2a\u6574\u6570\u7684\u6570\u7ec4<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Static initialization of arrays involves specifying initial values for array elements at the time of defining the array. Arrays initialized in this way have their initial values specified at the time of definition, and their size is also determined during compilation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        int<\/span> arr[] = {1<\/span>, 2<\/span>, 3<\/span>, 4<\/span>, 5<\/span>}; \/\/ \u5b9a\u4e49\u4e00\u4e2a\u5305\u542b5\u4e2a\u6574\u6570\u7684\u6570\u7ec4\uff0c\u5e76\u521d\u59cb\u5316\u4e3a1\u30012\u30013\u30014\u30015<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Dynamic initialization of an array: after defining the array, assign values to each element one by one. This type of array does not have specified initial values at the time of definition and needs to be assigned values individually at runtime.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          int<\/span> arr[5<\/span>];\r\nfor<\/span> (int<\/span> i = 0<\/span>; i < 5<\/span>; i++) {\r\n    arr[i] = i + 1<\/span>; \/\/ \u4e3a\u6570\u7ec4\u5143\u7d20\u8d4b\u503c\u4e3a1\u30012\u30013\u30014\u30015<\/span>\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
