In C language, an array is a collection of elements of the same data type stored in contiguous memory locations. A one-dimensional array is the simplest type of array, where elements are stored in a single row.

Here is the syntax for declaring a one-dimensional array:

Code:
datatype arrayname[size];

  • datatype refers to the data type of the array elements (e.g. int, float, char, etc.).
  • arrayname is the name of the array.
  • size is the number of elements in the array.

Here is an example of declaring a one-dimensional array of integers with size 5:

Code:
int numbers[5];

To access individual elements of the array, you can use the index number. The index of the first element in an array is 0 and the last element's index is size-1.

Here is an example of assigning a value to an element of the array:

Code:
numbers[0] = 10;

You can also initialize the array at the time of declaration:

Code:
int numbers[5] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};

In this case, the first element of the array is initialized to 10, the second element to 20, and so on.

Note that arrays in C are indexed starting from 0 and, unlike some other programming languages, C does not perform any boundary checks. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the array index is within the valid range to avoid memory access violations or other errors.
