Answer / vijay zanvar

You can't do that in C. Use dynamic allocation method
to implement array. See Q. 20 and 41 in

Answer / lp

Declare a integer array size at runtime:
1.declare an interget pointer. - int *ptr
2.Get the size of array from user - int n
3.using malloc() ,allocate that many number of location to
the pointer. - ptr = malloc(n*sizeof(int));
4.Make use of the dynamically allocated array. - ptr[]

Answer / rajendra

#include <stdlib.h> /* EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS */
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define ROW 5
#define COL 5

int
main ( void )
{
int **cont_arr;
int **cont_arr;

int **arr = malloc ( ROW * sizeof ( int * ) );
if ( !arr )
{
perror ( "Error" );
exit ( EXIT_FAILURE );
}

for ( i=0; i < ROW; i++ )
{
arr[i] = malloc ( sizeof ( int ) * COL );
if ( !arr[i] )
{
perror ( "Error" );
exit ( EXIT_FAILURE );
}
}

/*
* Contiguous memory allocated for array.
Below.
*/

cont_arr = (int **) malloc ( ROW * sizeof ( int
* ) );
if ( !cont_arr )
{
perror ( "Error" );
exit ( EXIT_FAILURE );
}

cont_arr[0] = (int *) malloc ( ROW * COL *
sizeof ( int ) );
if ( !cont_arr[0] )
{
perror ( "Error" );
exit ( EXIT_FAILURE );
}

for ( int i=1; i < ROW; i++ )
cont_arr[i] = cont_arr[0] + i * COL;

exit ( EXIT_SUCCESS );
}

Answer / vinod

C99 and above supports the conceptof VLA(Variable Length Array) which allows you to set array size based on input during run time. It can also done using dynamic memory allocation.

Example:
int main()
{
int i;
scanf("%d",&i);
int a[i];
}

int main()
{
int i, max;

// Array
int *a;

printf("Enter the size of array\n");
scanf("%d", &max);

//Run time size allocation of an array
a = (int*)malloc(max * sizeof(int));

for(i = 0; i < max;i++)
{
a[i] = i * 2;
printf("value of element %d is %d\n", i, a
[i]);
}
return 0;

Function shall sum members of given one-dimensional array. However, it should sum only members whose number of ones in the binary representation is higher than defined threshold (e.g. if the threshold is 4, number 255 will be counted and 15 will not) - The array length is arbitrary - output the results to the stdout
