    Exclamation Array of 100 elements ranging from 1 to 100

    Hello!

    I'm trying to create an array of 100 elements, ranging from 1 to 100.

    Code:
    int main()
    {
        int arr[100];
    
        // For setting values to elements
        for (int i = 0; i < 101; i++)
        {
            arr[i] = i;
        }
    
        // For getting values from elements
        for (int i = 0; i < 101; i++)
        {
            cout << arr[i] << endl;
        }
    
        return 0;
    }
    The problem with this code is that in element 0 I have 0, in element 1 I have 1, in element 2 I have 2, and so on.

    I need number 1 in element 0, number 2 in element 1, number 3 in element 2, and so on. What am I missing?

    I think I found the problem. Here is the solution:

    Code:
    int main()
    {
        int arr[100];
    
        // For setting values to elements
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            arr[i] = i + 1;
        }
    
        // For getting values from elements
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            cout << arr[i] << endl;
        }
    
        return 0;
    }

    Yep. Just a comment. When dealing with a fixed size array, IMO it is better to have a const variable to hold the number of elements in the array. That way the loops etc get the correct terminating condition and if the array size changes, only one value in the program is changed. Note that the variable needs to be const as the c++ compiler needs to know the value at compile time. Consider
    Code:
    int main()
    {
        const int arrsize = 100;
    
        int arr[arrsize];
    
        // For setting values to elements
        for (int i = 0; i < arrsize; i++)
             arr[i] = i + 1;
    
        // For getting values from elements
        for (int i = 0; i < arrsize; i++)
             cout << arr[i] << endl;
    
        return 0;
    }
    Also note that if there is only one statement following the for() then braces are not required (same for if etc).

    However, you may wish to consistently put the braces even when they are not required so as to avoid having them accidentally left out should the code be changed such that braces become required, or when code is introduced with poor indentation such that it appears to be part of the loop body when it isn't.
