Chapter 11 – Working with Arrays

1. An array definition has a data type, a base name, and a size (or a number of elements).
2. A constant length array is one whose size can be determined at compile time – its size is a literal number, a #define symbol, a constant expression (such as 13-3), or an enumeration constant.
3. A variable-length array is one whose size is determined at runtime by the value of a variable, the result of a variable expression, or the result of a function call.
4. You can initialize a constant-length array when it is defined. You cannot initialize a VLA when it is defined.
5. VLAs enable function parameters to receive arrays of any size so long as the size is also given as a parameter to the function.
