    Trace table for an array

    So far I realize that when it enters the while loop, track will be 0, marr[track] will be marr[3]. is this correct or will 23+3 be the correct understanding. Does this mean it will be a infinite loop since track is never incremented. it will always be track<7

    int marr[6]={23,67,12,9,33,7};
    int track =0;
    int ans = 2;

    while(track<7)
    {
    marr[track] = marr[track] + 3;
    if(marr[track]<20)
    ans = marr[track] / ans;
    }

    Question
    int marr[6]={23,67,12,9,33,7};
    You declare the array marr[6];
    which means that it contains six elements having indexes from 0 to 5. marr[6] is outside the allocated buffer!

    Re: Trace table for an array

    Thank you for the clarification

    marr[track] = marr[track] + 3; enters the while loop, track will be 0, marr[track] will be marr[3]

    is this part correct. is it I should add 3 +23 or 0+3

    No.
    when it enters the while loop, track will be 0, marr[0] will be 23 + 3 = 26.

    understand. so track will always be 0 since there is no incrementation in the code, so it will always be adding 3 to marr [0]
