What is an Array ?

Arrays a kind of data structure that can store a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same type. An array is used to store a collection of data, but it is often more useful to think of an array as a collection of variables of the same type.

 
 

Instead of declaring individual variables, such as number0, number1, …, and number99, you declare one array variable such as numbers and use numbers[0], numbers[1], and …, numbers[99] to represent individual variables. A specific element in an array is accessed by an index.

All arrays consist of contiguous memory locations. The lowest address corresponds to the first element and the highest address to the last element.

Here is source code of the C program to insert element in an array at specified position. The C program is successfully compiled and run(on Codeblocks) on a Windows system. The program output is also shown in below.

 

SOURCE CODE : :

/*  C program to insert element in an array at specified position */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int arr[100];
    int i, size, num, position;

    /*
     * Reads size and elements of array
     */
    printf("Enter size of the array : ");
    scanf("%d", &size);
    printf("\nEnter %d elements in array :: \n",size);
    for(i=0; i<size; i++)
    {
         printf("\nEnter %d element in array :: ",i+1);
        scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
    }

    /*
     * Read element to insert and position of the element
     */
    printf("\nEnter element to insert : ");
    scanf("%d", &num);
    printf("\nEnter the element position : ");
    scanf("%d", &position);

    /*
     * If the position of element is not valid
     */
    if(position>size+1 || position<=0)
    {
        printf("\nInvalid position! Please enter position between 1 to %d", size);
    }
    else
    {
        /*
         * Inserts element in array and increases the size of the array
         */
        for(i=size; i>=position; i--)
        {
            arr[i] = arr[i-1];
        }
        arr[position-1] = num;
        size++;

        /*
         * Prints the new array after insert operation
         */
        printf("\nArray elements after insertion :: ");
        for(i=0; i<size; i++)
        {
            printf(" %d ", arr[i]);
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

OUTPUT : :

Enter size of the array : 7

Enter 7 elements in array ::

Enter 1 element in array :: 1

Enter 2 element in array :: 2

Enter 3 element in array :: 3

Enter 4 element in array :: 4

Enter 5 element in array :: 5

Enter 6 element in array :: 6

Enter 7 element in array :: 7

Enter element to insert : 0

Enter the element position : 1

Array elements after insertion ::  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7
