C++ Arrays Real-Life Examples


Real Life Example

To demonstrate a practical example of using arrays, let's create a program that calculates the average of different ages:

Example

// An array storing different ages
int ages[8] = {20, 22, 18, 35, 48, 26, 87, 70};

float avg, sum = 0;
int i;

// Get the length of the array
int length = sizeof(ages) / sizeof(ages[0]);

// Loop through the elements of the array
for (int age : ages) {
  sum += age;
}

// Calculate the average by dividing the sum by the length
avg = sum / length;

// Print the average
cout << "The average age is: " << avg << "\n";
Try it Yourself »

And in this example, we create a program that finds the lowest age among different ages:

Example

// An array storing different ages
int ages[8] = {20, 22, 18, 35, 48, 26, 87, 70};

int i;

// Get the length of the array
int length = sizeof(ages) / sizeof(ages[0]);

// Create a variable and assign the first array element of ages to it
int lowestAge = ages[0];

// Loop through the elements of the ages array to find the lowest age
for (int age : ages) {
  if (lowestAge > age) {
    lowestAge = age;
  }
}

// Print the lowest age
cout << "The lowest age is: " << lowestAge << "\n";
Try it Yourself »
