arrays

Various ways of accessing arrays

Iterating an Array with a For Loop in C

int arr[10] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
int i;
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    printf("%d\n", arr[i]);
}

Iterating an Array with a While Loop in C

int arr[10] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
int i = 0;
while(i < 10)
{
    printf("%d\n", arr[i]);
    i++;
}

Iterating an Array with a Do While loop in C

int arr[10] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
int i = 0;
do
{
    printf("%d\n", arr[i]);
    i++;
} while (i < 10);

Iterating an Array with a For Each loop in Java

int [] arr = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
for(int value : arr) {
    System.out.print(value);
    System.out.print("\n");
}

*Note that the Java foreach is just a for loop with different syntax. Some languages do this and some such as C# use foreach.

Iterating an Array using recursion in C

int sumArrayRecursive(int * arr, int index, int arraySize)
{
    if (index == (arraySize - 1))
    {
        return arr[index];
    }
    return arr[index] + sumArrayRecursive(arr, index + 1, arraySize);
}

Applying a Function to Every Value of an Array in Javascript

var numbers = [1,2,3,4,5];
var squares = numbers.map(function(x) {
    return x*x;
});

// squares is [1,4,9,16,25]

Calculate Single Value from Array in Javascript

var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
var sum = arr.reduce((prev, curr) => prev + curr);
console.log(sum);
// Output: 15

You can also specify an initial value

var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
var sum = arr.reduce(function (previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array) {
    return previousValue + currentValue;
}, 100);
console.log(sum)
// Output: 115
