Some rules when using arrays:

  • You need to declare the array: type, name and size
  • In a function header the size is not relevant, but you still need to use the []  so that the compiler knows this is an array.
  • You cannot perform any operation (=, +, -, *, /, == etc.) with the whole array:
    • ex. array1=0; // don't do that!
  • You can only perform operations with EACH element of the array
    •  ex array1[k]=0; // this is ok
  • Never use the array with an empty bracket
  • Notice that, whenever you have an array followed by an index (in brackets) then you don't have an array, you have one ELEMENT of the array.
