Question
What is wrong with the following piece of code?
int sample_array[10];
for (int index = 1; index <= 10; index++)
sample_array[index] = 3*index;
Answer
Error statement in the given code:
int sample_array[10];
Explanation:
- The range of sample_array is 10. It represents sample_array[0] through sample_array[9].
- The "for" loop denotes the begins index=1 to index <=10. So, index 10 in ample_array[10] is out of range.
- So, need to change the initialize the index size of sample_array. That is, sample_array[11];
Correct code:
int sample_array[11];
for (int index = 1; index <= 10; index++)
sample_array[index] = 3*index;
