Prerequisites

Before starting with this tutorial we assume that you are best aware of the following C programming topics:

Operators in C Programming.

Basic Input and Output function in C Programming.
Basic C programming.
For loop in C Programming.

Using pointer in C programming.

Access Elements of an Array Using Pointer:-

As we all know array is a collection of similar data type elements. In an array, only one variable is declared which can store multiple values. First will take the elements of an array from the user. Then will pass the elements address to the pointer and the will print the elements of array /Access Elements of an Array Using Pointer with the help of C Programming Language.

Pointer is a variable that can store the address of another variable.

Algorithm:-

STEP 1: START

STEP 2: INITIALIZE array[]

STEP 3: take input elements

STEP 4: create pointer

STEP 5: pass array to pointer

STEP 6: print array using pointer

STEP 7: Return 0.

STEP 8: END.

STEP 1: START

STEP 2: INITIALIZE array[]

STEP 3: take input elements

STEP 4: create pointer

STEP 5: pass array to pointer

STEP 6: print array using pointer

STEP 7: Return 0.

STEP 8: END.

Program:-

Access Elements of an Array Using Pointer.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    //declaring variaable
    int arry[5];
    int i;
    
    //Taking elements of array from the user
    printf("Enter 5 elements for the array: ");
    for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
        scanf("%d", arry + i);
        
    //printing elements of array with the help of pointer
    
    //declaring pointer
     int *ptr = arry;
     
   printf("You have entered \n");
    for(i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        printf("array[%d] = %d\n",i,*(ptr+i));

    return 0;
   
}

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

//declaring variaable

int arry[5];

int i;

//Taking elements of array from the user

printf("Enter 5 elements for the array: ");

for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i)

scanf("%d", arry + i);

//printing elements of array with the help of pointer

//declaring pointer

int *ptr = arry;

printf("You have entered \n");

for(i = 0; i < 5; i++)

printf("array[%d] = %d\n",i,*(ptr+i));

return 0;

}

Output:-

The above program we have to first initialize the required variable.

array = it will hold the elements in an array.

i = it will hold the integer value to control array.

Creating Pointer.

*ptr = it will hold the address of elements in a array.

Taking input from the user in an array elements in array.

Printing using array.
