Arrays are collections of data storage locations which have the same data type and the same name. You can declare variable arrays of any data type using the following form:

type_name variable_name[size];

For example int x[50]; will create 50 array elements (the first one is 0 and the last one 49). You can also add second brackets creating a multidimensional array:

int x[50][10];

To initialize an array, use the = operator with a list of values enclosed in braces:

int x[3] = {1, 2, 3};

To change the value of the second array element use:

x[1] = 35;
