Consider price
, the one-dimensional array of floating-point numbers.
To write data into price
, you use assignment statements in which the
array name and a bracketed integer index appear on the left side of an
assignment statement, the place where you are accustomed to seeing variable
names. The following expression, for example, inserts a a floating-point
number into the place indexed by the value of counter
.
*-- Array's name | | *-- An integer | | | | *-- Value to be stored | | | v v v price[counter] = 10.2;
To read data from the price
array, once the data have been
written, you write an expression containing the array name and a bracketed
integer index. The following expression, for example, yields the number
stored in the place indexed by the value of counter
:
price[counter]
