C programming
Array size can’t be declared at run time. Size of array must be known during compilation time. So, array size should be declared before compilation.
- Correct example: char array [10];
- Wrong example: char array[i];
- Always, Array subscript should be positive and it should not be either negative or any variable name.
- If we really don’t know the size of an array, we can use dynamic memory allocation concepts in C which uses malloc(), calloc() functions to allocate memory during execution time.
