2) Multi dimensional arrays can be stored in row major order in c++ . Develop an access function for a three dimensional array to return the address of each element in the array. Please test the function with five elements of the array. Please read page 260 of the text book for more information about access function .

will require an additional run-time calculation to determine the address of the memory location being referenced. In many languages, such as C, C++, Java, Ada, and C#, all of the elements of an array are required to be of the same type. In these languages, pointers and references are restricted to point to or reference a single type. So the objects or data values being pointed to or referenced are also of a single type. In some other languages, such as JavaScript, Python, and Ruby, variables are typeless references to objects or data values. In these cases, arrays still consist of elements of a single type, but the elements can reference objects or data values of different types. Such arrays are still homogeneous, because the array elements are of the same type. C# and Java 5.0 provide generic arrays, that is, arrays whose elements are references to objects, through their class libraries. These are discussed in Section 6.5.3. 6.5.1 Design Issues The primary design issues specific to arrays are the following: What types are legal for subscripts? Are subscripting expressions in element references range checked? When are subscript ranges bound? When does array allocation take place? Are ragged or rectangular multidimensioned arrays allowed, or both? Can arrays be initialized when they have their storage allocated? What kinds of slices are allowed, if any? In the following sections, examples of the design choices made for the arrays of the most common programming languages are discussed. 6.5.2 Arrays and Indices Specific elements of an array are referenced by means of a two-level syntactic mechanism, where the first part is the aggregate name, and the second part is a possibly dynamic selector consisting of one or more items known as subscripts or indices. If all of the subscripts in a reference are constants, the selector is static; otherwise, it is dynamic. The selection operation can be thought of as a mapping from the array name and the set of subscript values to an element in the aggregate. Indeed, arrays are sometimes called finite mappings. Symbolically, this mapping can be shown as array_name(subscript_value_list) element The syntax of array references is fairly universal: The array name is followed by the list of subscripts, which is surrounded by either parentheses or brackets. In some languages that provide multidimensioned arrays as arrays of arrays, each subscript
