Basics: Arrays and Strings

Introduction

Hello Coders!

Get ready to expand your programming toolkit as we delve into the fundamental world of Arrays and Strings. Arrays provide a structured way to store and manipulate data, while Strings offer a versatile means of handling textual information.

Arrays

Arrays in C++ allow you to store multiple elements of the same data type in a single variable. Here's a basic example:

#include
int main() {
    // Declare and initialize an array
    int numbers[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    // Access elements and display them
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        std::cout << "Element at index " << i << ": " << numbers[i] << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Strings

Strings in C++ are sequences of characters. The standard library provides a string class for easy manipulation. Here's a simple string example:

#include
#include
int main() {
    // Declare and initialize a string
    std::string greeting = "Hello, ";
    // Concatenate strings and display the result
    std::string name = "Alice";
    std::cout << greeting + name << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Exercise: Manipulate Arrays and Strings
