Question

If integer requires two bytes space, then what will be the size of the following 'C’ array?

int array[3][4]=(0);

1. 24 bytes
2. 12 bytes
3. 7 bytes
4. 14 bytes

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 24 bytes

 An array is defined as the collection of similar types of data items stored at contiguous memory locations. 

int array[3][4] = (0);

Here Array is an integer array. which is in a two-dimensional array of 3 rows and 4 columns. So each row has 4 elements and there are three rows.

Hence total number of elements = 3 x 4 =12

Each element of size = 2 bytes.

So size of array is = 12 x 2 bytes =24 bytes.

Hence the correct answer is 24 bytes.
