ポインタの C++ 配列

配列とポインタは相互に密接な関係があります。 C++ では、配列の名前はポインターとみなされます。つまり、配列の名前には要素のアドレスが含まれます。 C++ は、配列名を最初の要素のアドレスと見なします。たとえば、整数型の 20 個の値を保持する配列、つまりマークを作成すると、マークには最初の要素のアドレス、つまりmarks[0]が含まれます。したがって、配列名 (マーク) は、配列の最初の要素のアドレスを保持するポインターであると言えます。

例を通してこのシナリオを理解しましょう。

 #include using namespace std; int main() { int *ptr; // integer pointer declaration int marks[10]; // marks array declaration std::cout &lt;&lt; &apos;Enter the elements of an array :&apos; &lt;&lt; std::endl; for(int i=0;i&gt;marks[i]; } ptr=marks; // both marks and ptr pointing to the same element.. std::cout &lt;&lt; &apos;The value of *ptr is :&apos; &lt;<*ptr<< std::endl; std::cout << 'the value of *marks is :' <<*marks<<std::endl; } < pre> <p>In the above code, we declare an integer pointer and an array of integer type. We assign the address of marks to the ptr by using the statement ptr=marks; it means that both the variables &apos;marks&apos; and &apos;ptr&apos; point to the same element, i.e., marks[0]. When we try to print the values of *ptr and *marks, then it comes out to be same. Hence, it is proved that the array name stores the address of the first element of an array.</p> <p> <strong>Output</strong> </p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/c-tutorial/74/c-array-pointers.webp" alt="C++ Array of Pointers"> <h3>Array of Pointers</h3> <p>An array of pointers is an array that consists of variables of pointer type, which means that the variable is a pointer addressing to some other element.

上記の宣言では、ptr という名前のポインタの配列を宣言し、メモリ内に 5 つの整数ポインタを割り当てます。

ポインタの配列の要素は、他の要素のアドレスを割り当てることによって初期化することもできます。例を通してこのケースを観察してみましょう。

 int a; // variable declaration. ptr[2] = &amp;a; 

上記のコードでは、変数「a」のアドレスを配列「ptr」の 3 番目の要素に割り当てています。

ポインターを逆参照して「a」の値を取得することもできます。

 *ptr[2]; 

例を通して理解しましょう。

 #include using namespace std; int main() { int ptr1[5]; // integer array declaration int *ptr2[5]; // integer array of pointer declaration std::cout &lt;&lt; &apos;Enter five numbers :&apos; &lt;&lt; std::endl; for(int i=0;i&gt; ptr1[i]; } for(int i=0;i<5;i++) { ptr2[i]="&amp;ptr1[i];" } printing the values of ptr1 array std::cout << \'the are\' std::endl; for(int i="0;i&lt;5;i++)" *ptr2[i] < pre> <p>In the above code, we declare an array of integer type and an array of integer pointers.

上記のコードでは、ポインター名の配列をサイズ 5 の「names」として宣言しました。上記の場合、宣言時に初期化を行っているため、ポインター名の配列のサイズについて言及する必要はありません。ポインタ。上記のコードは次のように書き直すことができます。

 char *names[ ] = {&apos;john&apos;, &apos;Peter&apos;, &apos;Marco&apos;, &apos;Devin&apos;, &apos;Ronan&apos;}; 

上記の場合、「names」配列の各要素は文字列リテラルであり、各文字列リテラルは文字列の最初の文字のベース アドレスを保持します。たとえば、names[0] には「john」のベース アドレスが含まれ、names[1] には「Peter」のベース アドレスが含まれます。すべての文字列リテラルが連続したメモリ位置に格納されることは保証されませんが、文字列リテラルの文字は連続したメモリ位置に格納されます。

簡単な例を作成してみましょう。
